How do I contact the shelter about Nika?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SOS Gyvūnai handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nika on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Nika if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SOS Gyvūnai will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Nika already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Nika isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with SOS Gyvūnai early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nika and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (LT). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Nika

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Also a young, mischievous puppy - Nikai is curious, not too high and definitely not too far on walks. VIDEO - But not everything is simple with Nika - although it doesn't show here - Nika doesn't know how to stay alone at home. Left alone, she can whine and bark because she wants to be nearby. Doesn't fight with other dogs, but when seeing a dog outside, especially a larger one, reacts very strongly, pulling the leash. Walking nicely with a leash also needs more practice - she is strongly motivated by food and learns very well. For those interested, you can engage with Nika in various dog activities, exercise, learn tricks or obedience. Nikai is 3 years old, raised with children and could live with them. She attacks cats, so she's looking for homes without them. Spayed, identified. Best suited for homes where someone is constantly present or is flexible with work, can spare time for the dog's energy and reduce separation anxiety. The sensitive Nika has a lot of potential, but it will need time and the owner's efforts to reveal it: to learn to calm down, control her emotions and trust herself and the environment more, to learn to do tasks only outdoors.

Dar jauna, išdykusi kalytė – Nikai viskas smalsu, niekur ne per aukštai ir tikrai žygyje nebus per toli. VIDEO – Bet ne viskas paprasta su Nika – nors pas mus tai nepasireiškia – Nika nemoka ir nenori pasilikti viena namuose Palikta viena gali loti ir kaukti, nes ji nori būti šalia. Su kitais šunimis nesipyksta, bet lauke pamačiusi šunį, ypač didesnį, labai reaguoja, tempia pavadį. Su pavadžiu eiti gražiai irgi reikia dar pasimokyti – yra stipriai motyvuota maistu ir mokytis labai gerai sekasi Tam, kam įdomu, galima su Nika užsiimti įvairia šunų veikla, sportuoti, mokytis triukų ar paklusnumo. Nikai 3 metai, augusi su vaikais ir galėtų gyventi su jais. Puola kates, tad ieško namų be jų. Sterilizuota, ženklinta. Geriausiai tiktų namai, kuriuose kažkas nuolat būna arba yra lankstus su darbais, galės skirti laiko šuns iškrovai ir išsiskyrimo nerimo mažinimui. Jautrioji Nika turi daug potencialo, bet jam reikės laiko ir šeimininko pastangų jį atskleisti: mokyti nurimti, valdyti savo emocijas ir labiau pasitikėti savimi bei aplinka, mokytis reikaliukus daryti tik lauke.
