Nina Est DOB 4/22/2020 Female Havanese Meet Nina, a sweet girl who came to us after the commercial breeder she lived in closed down. She never received the care, socialization, or support every dog deserves, but she’s already showing us how much heart she has. Nina is very shy with people, yet she allows gentle handling and will let you pick her up. With patience and kindness, she’s beginning to show curiosity toward the affection she’s getting from our staff and volunteers. Watching her discover that humans can be safe is incredibly rewarding. She is good with other dogs but we are not totally sure about cats though. She’ll need gentle guidance as she learns about life in a real home — things like housebreaking, normal household noises, and everyday activities such as a dishwasher running or a TV turned on. With time and reassurance, she’ll blossom. At the sanctuary, Nina is loving her new freedom and the comfort of being with other dogs. She’s sweet, soft‑natured, and has all the potential to become an amazing family member for someone who understands that progress comes in small, beautiful steps. If you’re looking for a tender soul to nurture and celebrate as she grows, Nina may be the perfect match. * Would do best in a home with no small children **** Nina has some impaired vision- how much we do not really know though. She is still able to walk around freely, but she may sometimes walk into things. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING, PLEASE FILL OUT AN APPLICATION FROM OUR WEBSITE: www.hoperescues.org.
