About Nina

Nina is a compact black and white Pocket Bully with a lot of personality and a curious history. She came to the shelter after being found in a parking lot, and while her story involves a microchip and a questionable return attempt, what matters now is her safety and chance at a better life. At around 1–2 years old, Nina has a ton of energy and thrives in environments with plenty of room to play—a fenced yard would really help her burn off steam and stay secure. She greets every volunteer with a burst of affection, eagerly seeking out pets, attention, or a good play session. Personal boundaries aren’t really on Nina’s radar yet, so she’ll need someone willing to patiently help her learn the basics and become the kind of companion anyone would be proud of. The shelter provides a free obedience session to get her started. Nina is eager to bond, and just needs someone who can match her enthusiasm and work through some youthful quirks together.
