Three year old greyhound Nikita, a retired racing dog, is currently under the care of Dog’s Trust where staff affectionately call her Nik Nak.
However, her size and appearance have deterred potential owners from adopting her, as reported by What’s The Jam.
Described as “a sweet three-year-old” who is “very friendly and loves making new friends – human and canine”, Nikita has won the hearts of her carers who think she’s “absolutely wonderful”.
A spokesperson for Dog’s Trust Glasgow revealed: “She has met seven different potential families and each one has cancelled their reservation.
“Some have said she’s too big or too bony.
“Everything happens for a reason – maybe she’s been waiting for you?”.
“She is a confident soul who loves to check everything out, but due to her racing history, she will require a lead and muzzle while in public.
“Nikita is a little flirt when she meets someone new.”
They added: “She would be able to share her home with a similar sized dog, pending successful mixes at the centre.
“She’d be able to be left home alone for a couple of hours but we’d recommend building this up gradually.
“She is looking for an understanding family that can help her with the basics.
“Nikita would love to have a garden, but this isn’t essential, as long as she gets her daily exercise.
“Having occasional access to a secure field every once in a while would be beneficial too if she doesn’t have a garden to zoom in.”
The retired racing hound is currently acing domestic life with a foster family, showing she’s completely house-trained.
She’s quite the foodie and adores nothing more than a good lounge.
