About Nana

Meet Nana, a sweet five-year-old girl on a journey to build her confidence. She's a bit timid, learning to walk on a leash at her own pace. Picture this: a few steps forward, an enthusiastic stop to sniff the ground, and then a gentle nudge from her foster mom saying, “Ready, let’s go!” It's a lovely process of exploration for her. Nana is also a work in progress when it comes to house training. She has her preferences with food too, loving homemade meals but is not a fan of blueberries, apples, or peanut butter. Yet, what she truly adores is cuddling up next to her foster mom at night, ready for all the love and attention she can get. This girl enjoys being brushed and doesn’t mind baths—though she'll definitely try to make a dash if given the chance! She’s eager to find a patient and loving home where she can continue to blossom. If you're willing to give Nana the time she needs, she could become the perfect companion. Your new best friend may just be a call away. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
