About Nubbie

Nubbie has a rich history. She transitioned from a hunting background to serving as a crop protector at a winery. After being adopted in 2022, she returned to the shelter due to following another dog out of the fencing. This submissive and gentle girl thrives in a calm environment, so she needs a patient family to help her grow in confidence. A true dog lover, Nubbie enjoys the company of other dogs and would benefit from a canine companion who can guide her. She’s looking for a warm home with a comfy couch and some space to stretch her legs. Older, respectful children who understand her timid nature would suit her best. Nubbie does have a suspected fatty lump on her leg, but it’s not a concern for her vet at this time. With her sweet half-tail, she might be shy, but her heart is big.
