In 2006, we rescued a puppy from the Bulverde Area Humane Society to give to our son Justin who was living in Boulder, CO. After the preliminary vet checks we flew the puppy to CO. Justin named her Nica, as he had recently returned from a surfing trip to Nica, Nicarauga. Justin got a new job two months later in Kauai, HI. Hawaii has a 120 day quarantine for incoming pets as Hawaii has no rabies. Instead of putting Nica in jail for 120 days, we brought her back to San Antonio, and spent the next year doing all the shots, vet checks and rabies tests for Nica to qualify for direct release in Hawaii without quarantine. We then flew her to Hawaii to re-unite her with Justin. Since then Nica has thrived in Kauai, spending lots of time camping on the beach, hiking, and even surfing! Nica is a beautiful well behaved dog, we believe she is an American Eskimo. She lives and plays with lots of doggie friends in Kauai, all of whom were rescued or adopted. We firmly support pet adoption! Shelter dogs like Nica make wonderful loving pets.
