Nikita (formerly Oriana) came to Patriot weighing only 26 pounds, and she needed a lot of vet care. We placecd out Nikita twice, but each home had to give her back to Patriot for different reasons. Nikita spent a long time in foster care before finding her forever home in the fall of 2006. Her new owners write: "Nikita is doing great. We have really bonded with her and can't thank you guys enough for helping us find her. Here are some recent photos of Nikita at home." Nikita spends time at the local dog beach. We are so happy to see Nikita in the home she deserves.
