About Nadia

Nadia is a joyful 11-year-old weighing around 55 lbs. Don't let her age mislead you; she's still capable of some spirited senior dog zoomies, even if they don’t last long. This calm girl absolutely thrives on life and loves her butt scratches. Treats are her ultimate favorite—she enjoys all kinds! Nadia knows basic commands, takes treats gently, and walks nicely on a leash. She’s also crate trained and house broken, making her the perfect companion. Nadia has a playful side too. She delights in chasing toys, especially squeaky ones and balls. Although her rear legs are a bit weak, they don’t seem to cause her any pain and certainly don’t hinder her enjoyment of life. She adores her bolster bed, which looks like a little sofa. Previously, she lived with both dogs and cats and adapted well. A calm canine friend might suit her best. She may do well with respectful children who understand her occasional aches as she ages. Nadia’s demeanor is calm, and she loves being your sidekick. Whether you're working outside or relaxing in front of the TV, she’ll stick close by. Car rides? She's all in! Due to past hip issues, Nadia will need daily joint supplements—the natural kind she currently takes costs about $50 monthly. Her ideal home will have a fenced yard for her safety and first-floor living. If you're ready to spoil this special senior girl, get in touch with her foster to set up a meeting!
