PERMANENT RESIDENT – Nikka – Siberian Husky

Update: Saying farewell is always the worst part of loving a pet. With heavy hearts, we bid Nikka farewell. Her long list of health issues made life too difficult and she let us know it was her time. She was surrounded by those who loved and cared for her at the vet’s office that she knew well. We thank everyone who donated and sent her gifts over the past few years. She always loved her happy mail and the donations helped us provide only the best care for our lovely senior.

2024 has brought a new title to our spunky senior. She is now a permanent resident of ASR! 12 year old Nikka has been with us for a couple of years and has developed several health issues, most of which are chronic or due to the natural aging process. It’s always more difficult to find adopters for a senior dog and we have had a few applicants but due to her arthritis she has limitations such as stairs. We are so pleased that the foster home which has lovingly cared for her since her first day with ASR has agreed to keep her right where she is. She’s staying with the people she knows the best in the home she’s the most comfortable in. This will also allow us to continue providing the care she needs using the veterinarians who she’s the most comfortable with and who are familiar with her history. You’ll still see Nikka at events now and then.

Congratulations on your important new status, Nikka! We love you!
