Nona

Nona is a 1-year-old, 50 lb, spayed female Staffie mix with a personality that's really starting to shine! She's still got that playful puppy spark but is growing into herself, building confidence, and soaking up the world around her. Nona is built like a tank with a short, sturdy frame and an adorably front-heavy build. She's fast, loves to zoom around the backyard, and greets her foster mom with an enthusiastic flying leap. Nona is all sweetness and loves being near her people, a perfect little buddy who's happy to tag along. Her whole body wiggles when she gets excited, and her tail goes a mile a minute. She loves meeting new friends and has been practicing her socializing skills, meeting new doggy pals and friendly strangers. She recently met a child and did wonderfully. Nona has a stubborn streak that makes her even more lovable and funny. She's incredibly clever and loves figuring things out. She is highly motivated by toys and treats, which makes training fun and rewarding. She has mastered "sit" and is working on her leash manners. Nona is fully crate trained and settles in beautifully overnight. She's also doing great with potty training and just needs a family willing to continue reinforcing her routine. She's a shy little watchdog and will sound the alarm if she hears or sees something unfamiliar. One of her most irresistible features is her adorable underbite. She is dog-friendly and gets along great with her foster siblings. Nona hasn't been around cats in a home setting, but based on her personality, we think she'd do well in a calm home with respectful, well-mannered kids who understand how to interact with an older puppy. She'd thrive with a confident canine friend to play with and learn from, but she'd also be perfectly happy soaking up all the attention as your one-and-only. Nona is expected to fill out into a sturdy, medium-to-large-sized dog.
