BIO: Nina came from a hoarding situation in Tennessee along with several of her siblings. She has worked hard to overcome her fears of people and is getting better by the day. Nina is making great progress with her socialization skills toward not just adults but she is enjoying the company of small children as well.

Nina loves to go for walks and she has been learning very quickly how to respond to basic commands. She does not do well with a harness and will chew through it to get out of it. Nina is currently being trained on a martingale collar which she is unable to chew or slip backwards out of. She is a work-in-progress when it comes to house training but that too is coming along very quickly. If she is kept on a schedule she will do just fine.

Nina is a lap dog and would be content to sleep on the sofa next to you uninterrupted for hours. She is a huge snuggle bug and enjoys the quiet company of her human companion. If you think Nina would be a great fit for your family please fill out an adoption application today!
