Niña enjoys walks and is always eager for treats, making her a delightful friend once she feels at home. She's been vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed. If you're ready to provide the care and love she needs, reach out to an adoption counselor to learn more about her. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
