Nikkos' owner was a teenage boy that was killed. Nikkos ended up in the local animal shelter and they were going to euthinize him due to the fact that he was a pit bull. Nikkos had never received his vaccinations and become very ill landing him in the doggie hospital with Parvo and he almost died but pulled through. One of the worker loved him so much she found a rescue that could take him. From there I contacted the rescue looking to adopt an older pit bull, but fell in love with Nikkos. Shortly after he was adopted and came home with me. Nikkos is so happy now that he knows he has found him forever home and family. Bio: Nikkos is a beautiful white and blue brindle boy. He has gained a ton of weight since being adopted now you can't even find his bones let alone see them. Nikkos' best friend is Mia although she is a bit controlling of him. He is generally laid back and loves human contact. He loves laying on you sitting on your lap or touching you in any way. He is very loyal and loving. He is protective. Nikkos is very insecure due to his history and hates being left home. His insecurities are the hardest thing for him to get over. Nikkos has begun to overcome some of his major issues. He can be left alone during the day while everyone works and is now alright with that. He still does not trust strangers but once he knows you are not going to hurt him he immediately tries to sit in your lap. Nikkos is always getting picked on due to his submissive personality. He always has been bossed around by Mia who often steals his bones and my sisters dog bully's him too. He is even picked on by Felix the cat, but I think he likes it cuz he wags his tail the whole time. He is my big lovey boy. I adore him and will work through all of his issues Forums Motto: Love me Love me Love me The Groups I'm In: ♥All Fur Fun♥, Cesar's Dogster Pack, Chicago Dogs (and Cats), Febreze® Pet Odor Eliminator™, Million Dog March, Precious Pits, ~The Windy City Doggies!!~
So I just want to let everyone know that I have been working really hard on overcoming my insecurities. Don't get me wrong I have a long way to go still, but I have made some improvements and that is what counts. I am now more confident when walking on a leash. I am very good about not getting upset when there are other people walking by even though my sister barks at everyone I really don't mind. I am not flinching as much when someone goes to pet me and I am less timid than I was when I first was adopted. So I am improving but I have a lot more I will soon be improving. Everyday I get a little less anxious about everything especially my people leaving. Oh and today is the day that I get to meet my new family member. I finally have a cousin she even looks like a mini me just a different color. Hopefully we will add her tomorrow to our family on dogster.
So tomorrow is the day that I get a new member to this family. I am so excited because I will no longer be the new dog in the family and I won't be the youngest any more either. I love to play too so I can't wait. My mom just bought her sister a four month old pit bull from the humane society. Tomorrow is her birthday so that is when she gets to pick this new dog up. Oh we are so excited. The puppy doesn't even have a name yet. So the puppy will be coming to our house to stay Thursday and Friday. Now that I think about it I am kinda worried. I am a big baby myself I hope that puppy doesn't take my spot cuddling. Anyway this will be fun we will add her to our dogster family as soon as possible. She is a pretty seal colored girl.

I first must say that Dottie is just the most beautiful Staffie that I have ever seen. I love to hear how she has turned her life around and gained all the confidence that I hope to have one day. I had a background like Dottie in that it took me a while to find my forever home. I like to think that eventually I will overcome all of that past stuff and be just as confident as this beauty. I have never had a valentine before and have had a rough start to life but now I have it so good. I had a owner when i was young that was young himself but one day a tragic accident took him. I ended up getting sick since i never had shots before and struggled a long time to get well. When I got to the rescue I was skin and bones. I didn't have to spend too much time in the rescue though and then my mom found me and I love my home. When I was adopted I didn't even know about going for walks all I ever had was a yard to go to the bathroom in. I was so insecure I was actually afraid of everything on a walk and was so skinny that I didn't have the stamina of my sister. Now I am a muscular boy with the energy for all of my walks.
So I think that the fact that we came from nothing and are now so rich with love that we would be the perfect match. I am so loving too that I would love to cuddle up to you and I hope you like kisses, because I give them to everyone. I love to play, but I have no problem sharing I will even walk up and give you a toy of mine if you just look at me while I am playing. I am a good boy and every day I learn more and more, but I will admit I am young and have had a late start at learning so I am hoping that you will show me that it can be done. I hope one day to not be fearful that people hit even though my mom and dad would never hit me I still flinch sometimes when I am not expecting to be pet. I have so much love to give that I wish to give you so much love on valentines and throughout the year. My mommy says I am going to show everyone we meet what wonderful dogs pit bulls are and that what they hear is not true. Everyone who meets me falls in love with my sweet, friendly, loving personality.
So Dottie I hope that you pick me to be your valentine I would be so happy. I can learn so much from you and even if someone doesn't care for me just by my looks I will love them into loving me. I have never met a dog or person I didn't love and no matter how they act to me at first they always love me by the time they leave. Oh and if you pick me I will let you share my mommy's lap with me. You just have to pick me Dottie, because if my sister is picked as Daddy's valentine she will never let me hear the end of it. Well Love You Dottie! XOXOXO
