 Nina

Adopted December 2007

Nina had enough. Having been used to breed by some backyard breeder and tethered to two cinder blocks to keep her inside the yard, Nina was busting out. She managed to get over a four foot fence with the cinder blocks attached. She dragged them through town until she was picked up as a stray. Authorities found out where she had belonged, but her owners didn't want her back if they had to pay for her medical care. Now cleaned up and fed well, after being skinny and dirty, Miss Nina now has a new chance to discover that humans are not completely awful. She has just been a sweet young dog here. She is very interested in everything new and exciting and loving the cuddles and attention. Nina has apparently had litters and is a bit of a dominant female, though she gets along with several dogs. She is entranced with small and furry things and runs up to them in a flash, but other than a feverish sniff down, shows no aggression towards the kitties or smaller dogs. If you have the family that can finally give Nina the attention and fun that she craves, fill out an application for Nina.
