About

Meet NEEKA

My story is one that started with a shelter number and a death sentence that loomed very close in Eastern Tennessee. My former name was AC23390, but by the hand of God, I was taken from that shelter and now I am Neeka.  In August 2022 I was found by animal control and brought to their tiny sad facility. I weighed only 50 pounds (picture is included).  They posted my picture hoping my owners would come forward and take me home but no one showed up and it was for the best.  I was starved already and they obviously didn’t take good care of me. Things were looking grim but on my last day, an older couple came to see me and they took me home.  They treated me like a Princess and I gained weight and felt their love.  I was so grateful and soon my energetic nature started to emerge and my true breed tendencies demanded that they play with me and help me exercise and get my inner energy out.  But they are really too old and too tired to play with me and they think I need a “younger” couple and family to give me the life that I need.  I have learned to live with cats and I have stopped chasing them for sport since they slapped me in the face a few times.  I just got bored and wanted some fun!   What I really need is someone to give me structure and boundaries and to work with me on being content to be crated when people leave and to have someone that is my pack leader and guide.  I need the reassurance that I have a strong owner who knows exactly what I need every day.  I would love to go for long walks, hikes, jogs or anything active and fun.  A fenced yard is needed and I need patience to be imperfect and to help me become more perfect.  I need to work with meeting dogs and not being intimidated by them.   No one has really gotten me out and about in life and I have the intelligence and desire to really learn how to be OK in this crazy world.  I promise to love you, to adore you and to obediently be your best friend and to learn.  I am now 65 pounds and not starving for food, but I am starving for love and guidance.  Can you help me with that?  Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at [email protected] if you are interested learning more.
