Introducing Nikita T: The Thulani family is so happy to welcome Nikita T. Nikita came from a shelter in Southern CA, where she was brought in as a stray. Nikita recently moved to a foster home and is enjoying settling in. She is gentle and affectionate, warming up to her foster family and reveling in all the extra attention. She greets people and dogs nicely, although she can be afraid of other dogs and benefits from reassurance on the first greeting. Nikita enjoys her short walks and is a model citizen on a leash. She is quiet and loving and continues to let her personality shine more each day in her foster home. Nikita is excited to share her gentle and calm demeanor with her forever family.

Nikita T Summary:
- Female, 9 yrs old, 68 pounds
- Good with adults, kids, dogs
- TBD - cats

Nikita passed a set of evaluation tests before being accepted into TSGSR. The tests are not intended to assess how smart the dog is but are important for TSGSR to determine if the dog is expected to be safe in a family home. The tested behaviors check to see if the dog will guard or protect food or toys from people, will tolerate handling all over its body (including ears, nose, lips to check teeth, lifting paws, belly, back, and gently pulling the tail). This dog remained calm during all of these tests and showed no aggressive tendencies.

Whats Next for Nikita T: She is ready to find her forever home! If you are interested in adopting, please apply now. Thulani Senior German Shepherd Rescue (TSGSR) will continue to see that she is well cared for. She will come to your home with a supply of food, a cushy pad if wanted, and other goodies such as toys.
