About Nina

Nina was brought to us by her previous owner on October 28, 2026. She's a clever and affectionate girl who needs a patient and understanding family to help her thrive. Nina may show some resource-guarding and has been known to look for escape routes when feeling anxious, so a secure and supportive home is ideal. While she generally gets along with dogs, she might be better suited for a family with no cats and children over the age of 8. If you're interested in making Nina part of your family, reach out to our team today! This lovely pup has been vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed, so she is ready to find her forever home. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
