Nina is house trained and current on her vaccinations and heartworm prevention, making her ready for her new home. She has a friendly disposition and enjoys the company of other dogs, thriving best around older children who understand her need for space. While she's not experienced with cats, with patience and careful introductions, we believe she could adapt over time. Nina is local to Virginia Beach, VA, and eager to find her forever family.
