Nina's Story

Nina was physically abused by her old owner, making her skittish and very nervous, especially over big movements and sounds. She’s very affectionate, but not right away. She will first observe and familiarize with you first before initiating intimacy. She deserves a patient and loving home who will treasure her
— Nina's Rescuer

Get to Know Nina

Nina is timid and fearful, but she does not bite or show any aggression. She has shown great improvement over her time with me. She’s picky of her food, probably because she was fed human food before. She bolts when she’s scared of a loud noise, so it’s best to make sure she’s leashed. She is very affectionate given time and patience! A sweet soul waiting to for a forever family that can appreciate her for the gentle girl that she is.
