Nona

Nona is a delightful 1-year-old, 50 lb, spayed female Staffie mix who is ready to bring joy and laughter into your home. She's currently being fostered in Austin, TX, and is blossoming into a confident and playful companion. Nona is a sturdy girl with a charmingly low-rider build, but don't let her size fool you – she's incredibly fast and loves to zoom around the yard! She greets her foster mom with enthusiastic leaps and adores being near her people, offering a happy wiggle and a wagging tail. Nona is a social butterfly, enjoying strolls and meeting new friends, including a recent successful introduction to a small child. She has a lovable stubborn streak, a knack for problem-solving, and is highly motivated by toys and treats, making training a fun experience. She's already mastered "sit" and is working on her leash manners. Nona is crate-trained and doing well with potty training, requiring continued reinforcement of her routine. She can be a little shy around new things but will alert you to unfamiliar sounds or sights. Her adorable underbite adds to her many charming expressions. Nona is dog-friendly and gets along well with her foster siblings, but would do best with a canine companion who respects personal space. While she hasn't been around cats or children in a home setting, her personality suggests she'd do well in a calm environment with respectful, well-mannered kids. Nona is expected to mature into a sturdy, medium-to-large-sized dog and is ready to be your hilarious, affectionate, and constantly entertaining companion.

Ideal Home

Nona would thrive in a home that appreciates her playful energy and affectionate nature. She could be happy as the one-and-only pet, soaking up all the attention, or with a confident canine friend who is respectful of personal space and happy to share the spotlight. She may do well in a home with respectful, well-mannered children who understand how to interact with an older puppy.

Ongoing Health

Nona is spayed. Further health information is not available in the listing.

Training & Support

Nona has mastered "sit" and is continuing to work on her leash manners. She is fully crate-trained and doing great with potty training, but will need a family willing to continue reinforcing her routine. She can be a shy watchdog and will sound the alarm if she hears or sees something unfamiliar.
