Nikki is in foster care. She has excellent manners, is house trained and walks nicely on the leash. She is a little timid at first but wants to be around people so much, she just powers through. Nikki gets along with other dogs, too. She would do best in a home without cats. If you are interested in meeting Nikki, contact Sandie at (509) 489-1280. If you are interested in any animal at SCRAPS, call (509) 477-2532 or visit the shelter at 2521 N. Flora Road. Adoption fee includes spay, vaccinations, health check, microchip and license.

Not a fan of bus travel, she chose to fly to Vegas from her home in Southern California to join the group.
