***Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time*** We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog.

Now officially in her “older puppy” era, Nona’s personality is really starting to shine. She still has that playful puppy spark, but she’s growing into herself more each day — building confidence, soaking up the world around her, and learning how to channel all that joy into being the best girl. This little low-rider is built like a tank with her short, sturdy frame and front-heavy bod. It’s hilarious watching her proudly hop onto the couch now that she’s big enough, and even funnier seeing her sprint after her long-legged siblings, determined to keep up. Nona is all sweetness wrapped in a compact, playful package. She’s not overly needy but loves being near her people — the perfect little buddy who’s happy to hang out wherever you are. When she gets excited, her whole body wiggles, especially that booty, and her tail goes a mile a minute. She absolutely loves meeting new friends and greets people with full-body wiggles every time. She’s honestly such a hoot. Nona has a stubborn streak that only makes her more lovable and funny. She’s incredibly clever and has even figured out how to zigzag through her foster’s baby gates like she’s solving a maze. Watching her problem-solve her way around obstacles is both impressive and hilarious. She’s a delight to walk and loves getting out to explore the world. While she still pulls a bit on leash (lovingly, of course), she enjoys being out and about and taking in all the sights and smells around her. Nona is nearly potty trained, crate trained, and leash trained, and she’s already doing an amazing job sticking to a routine. She sleeps through the night in her crate and is eager to please. She’s also very food motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding. One of her favorite games is retrieving — she loves bringing you her ball and will proudly drop it at your feet… even if you didn’t ask for it (or want it). She’s dog-friendly and gets along great with her siblings and her big foster uncle. She’s motivated by both treats and toys, making her a wonderful candidate for continued training as she matures. Nona isn’t the biggest fan of car rides just yet, but she’s always happy to curl up and cuddle after a fun day of adventures. Nona hasn’t been around children or cats yet, but we believe 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. While we can’t guarantee her adult size, based on her age and breed mix, Nona is expected to grow into a large-sized dog. If you’re ready for a playful, affectionate, increasingly confident pup who will make you laugh daily and greet you with the happiest wiggle butt in town, Nona is ready to meet you. ___ ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. *** Adoption Fee: $475 Interested in applying to adopt?
