About Nakia (west)

American Staffordshire Terrier mix
Age: Adult
Sex: Female

Hi, my name is Nakia ID#A4438958. I am a spayed female, gray and white American Staffordshire Mix. The shelter staff think I am about 5 years old, and I have been at the shelter since July 6, 2020. We'd like to introduce you to a better way to spell 'fun' - NAKIA! Five year old Nakia is an absolute sweetheart who's always ready to have a fun time. She already knows how to sit on cue, and appears to be very food-motivated, so she'll be ready to learn anything you want to show her in exchange for a couple snacks! Nakia adores petting and attention, and likes to lean into petting to make sure she's soaking up as much of your attention as possible. Nakia was able to coexist with similarly-sized dogs she met at the shelter, but does not seem to like overly rambunctious dogs. We recommend arranging for your dog(s) to meet before you adopt so you can see if they'll be compatible playmates. Please note that Nakia has an old pelvic fracture that was not treated when it occurred, so sometimes her hind legs just don't cooperate with her. We don't know what happened in Nakia's past to cause this injury, but we know for sure that she doesn't let it get her down - she's compensated for the muscle atrophy in her hind end by building up a massive amount of muscle in the rest of her body! As a result, she may not be able to go out on long hikes, but she'll definitely LOVE playing with you in the backyard - especially if there's water involved! Nakia is a very strong 70lbs, so we're very happy that her @onelovearizona foster is helping her learn good manners to be successful in her new home.
