Shikoba, shepherd mix
Shikoba is a lovable female shepherd mix staying at All Breed Rescue & Training.
Shikoba gets along well with other dogs, cats and children. She is already house-trained. She is spayed, and she has all her shots.
Notes on Shikoba:
I am gentle and a bit shy, but I get a lot of confidence by following what my canine siblings do. I love to play ball, go for walks and play with other dogs. I don't like to be left alone. But if my human needs to leave for a bit, I do great when I have another dog with me to help me feel secure.

More about Oslo:
I am a leaner, a cuddler and a squisher (I want to plop all 100-plus pounds right on top of you). I'll wait by the window for you to get home and would be happy to jump onto your bed each and every morning, if I'm not already on it to begin with. Just know that I might get pretty frustrated if you're home and I'm not allowed to be with you.
