About Nina

Meet Nina! This energetic Maltese mix may only weigh 7 pounds, but she believes she possesses the spirit of a 70-pound party animal. Describing her as a furry whirlwind wouldn’t be an exaggeration. She’s packed with energy and a playful personality that’s as entertaining as it is adorable. Nina thrives in the company of other dogs, eagerly engaging in wrestling matches and playtime, regardless of their size. Confidence is her strong suit, although common sense can sometimes take a backseat. Recently groomed, she resembles a tiny baby lamb, full of charm and vulnerability. Despite her rambunctious nature, she’s also a dedicated cuddle buddy, relishing the cozy moments in a person’s lap. Though she has a playful bite that can catch you off-guard, it’s something she can learn to temper with guidance. Nina would do best in a lively home with at least one other playful, dog-friendly companion to match her spirited lifestyle. If you’re ready for a pint-sized bundle of energy and affection, Nina might just be the perfect fit for you! Give her a chance and make your home her playground. What are you waiting for?
