Nona is a 1-year-old, 50 lb, spayed female Staffie mix who is a bundle of joy and personality! She's in her playful puppy phase but is growing into a confident and loving companion. Nona is built like a sturdy little tank with a short, strong frame and an adorable, front-heavy build. She has a fast and energetic spirit, loving to zoom around the yard and greet her people with enthusiastic leaps. Nona is incredibly sweet and affectionate, always happy to be by your side. She wiggles with excitement, her tail wagging a mile a minute, and loves meeting new friends, both human and canine. She's also quite clever and enjoys puzzle toys and learning new things.
Ideal Home
Nona would thrive in a home with patient and understanding individuals or families. She has done wonderfully with a young child and would likely do well with respectful, well-behaved children who know how to interact with an older puppy. She would also enjoy a confident canine companion who is happy to share the spotlight and respects personal space, or she would be perfectly content as the sole canine in the household, soaking up all the attention.
Ongoing Health
Nona is spayed and up-to-date on her vaccinations. No specific health conditions were mentioned in her listing.
Training & Support
Nona is highly motivated by toys and treats, making training a fun and rewarding experience. She has mastered "sit" and is continuing to work on her leash manners. She is fully crate trained, especially overnight, and settles beautifully. She is also doing well with her potty training and would benefit from continued reinforcement of her routine. Nona can be a bit shy and will alert her family to anything unfamiliar.
