Nakoma

Sweet and playful 1 year old

I adopted Nakoma just a few days ago but, in horrible timing, had a personal emergency that will require me to travel a lot for the foreseeable future. I would love to keep her but feel selfish doing so since I won’t be able to dedicate the time I’d anticipated to her.

She is loving, playful, cuddly, affectionate, and SO smart. Definitely still in her chewing stage but easily distracted when given something to gnaw. Friendly to people and dogs from what I’ve seen. You will love her!
