Meet Nina, a delightful two-year-old who might just be a perfectly engineered stuffed animal brought to life! With her irresistibly squishy body, floppy ears, soulful eyes, and a collection of puppy rolls that will melt your heart, Nina is a true head-turner. We're not entirely sure of her breed mix – perhaps a touch of hound, a hint of boxer, maybe even some Beagle – but whatever the combination, it's pure perfection.
Nina's foster family has fallen head over paws for her, and it's easy to see why. Her greatest desire is to love and be loved in return. She doesn't ask for much, just a cozy spot to nap and humans to shower with adoration. Nina is a "respectful Velcro dog," always wanting to be near her people, checking in with polite manners, and then settling contentedly nearby. Her caramel-colored coat with adorable white markings and her delightfully squishy physique are simply irresistible. When she gets excited, her whole body wiggles with pure joy, creating a "full-body happiness ripple."
Ideal Home
Nina enjoys the company of other dogs and is playful and social. However, she can be a bit of a supervisor and prefers thoughtful introductions. A calmer canine companion could be a wonderful match, or she'd be perfectly happy as the sole dog, soaking up all the attention. On leash, she can become excited and bark or pull when seeing other dogs, but she's much more relaxed once proper introductions are made. Due to this, we believe a home environment would be better suited for her than apartment living where she might frequently encounter unfamiliar dogs in close quarters. We are happy to conduct further cat testing for families with feline friends, as her initial interactions showed polite curiosity. While she hasn't been formally tested with children, her affectionate and gentle nature suggests she could be a wonderful family dog. We are happy to complete kid testing for interested adopters.
