WELCOME TO CAMP COCKER RESCUE, NIKKI!

#CampCockerNikki

NIKKI is a cutie-pie female Cocker Spaniel rescued from the Riverside County Shelter. She’s estimated* to be 2-3 years old and weighs 22 pounds.

Nikki is an energetic dog-friendly girl. She has a bit of “stranger danger” to be mindful of, so new acquaintances must take their time when meeting her to earn her trust. She’ll do best in a home with no children.

Nikki’s foster mom tells us:

Nikki is the sweetest once you’ve earned her trust. Due to her “stranger danger,” it’s best to meet her outside, where she can sniff and investigate you first. She does better when people have treats—though they need to be high-value treats!

Once she trusts you, she’ll let you clean her paws, trim her hair, and more. She can get a bit playful & rambunctious, and sometimes “mouthy,” during playtime. Nikki loves to shake her toys, have you throw them, and then playfully tease you to chase her and steal the toy back. She is very friendly with other dogs, but she doesn’t always respect their personal space.

Nikki knows basic commands like “sit” and “give paw” and is working on “down.” She’s 100% potty trained and will bark to let you know when she needs to go outside. She doesn’t have separation anxiety and is crate trained.

However, if she’s off-leash in the yard, it may take some time to catch her because she enjoys being chased. Nikki should never visit dog parks, as she might accidentally escape through the gate if other dogs are entering or exiting. She’s currently working on recall to ensure she’ll return when called.

With patience, high-value treats, and love, Nikki will make a fun, loyal, and loving companion!*
