Nona is a 1-year-old, 50 lb spayed female Staffie mix with a personality that's really starting to shine. She's in her older puppy phase, full of playful energy but growing more confident each day. Nona is built like a little tank with a short, sturdy frame and an adorably front-heavy build, making her zoomies extra entertaining. She's a sweet and affectionate companion who loves to be near her people, greeting them with an enthusiastic wiggle. Nona is a social butterfly, enjoying strolls and meeting new friends, including a recent positive interaction with a child. She's clever and motivated by toys and treats, making training a fun experience. She's mastered "sit" and is working on her leash manners, already enjoying walks of 2-3 miles. Nona is crate and potty trained and can be a little shy watchdog. Her most charming feature is her adorable underbite, which only enhances her goofy expressions. She's dog-friendly and enjoys playing with her foster siblings, though she'd do best with a canine companion who respects her space and toys. While she hasn't been around cats or children in a home environment, her personality suggests she'd do well with respectful, well-mannered children and would also be happy as the sole pet. Nona is expected to grow into a sturdy, medium-to-large-sized dog.
