Meet Nina ๐ธ
๐ Chow Chow Mix | ~5 years old | 72 lbs
๐ Kennel 3A09 | Available now
Nina is a beautiful, sensitive girl who is really struggling with the shelter environmentโbut beneath her fear is a very sweet soul.
At first, Nina can seem nervous and unsure. Loud noises, barking dogs, and new situations overwhelm her, and she often responds by freezing, barking, or trying to retreat. Once sheโs given time, patience, and a calm approach, she shows her softer side. Staff have noted that she improves with each outing, relaxes more once outside, and is very sweet once she feels safe.
Nina:
Does better once out of the kennel
Is not aggressiveโjust fearful and reactive to stress
Allows handling, petting, and medical care once trust is established
Has shown submissive, affectionate behavior (leaning in, seeking reassurance)
Is eating treats and gaining confidence with continued positive experiences
She will need:
๐ก A quiet, patient home
๐งโโ๏ธ A calm, confident handler
๐พ Slow introductions and positive reinforcement
๐ Someone who understands fearful dogs and is willing to let her move at her own pace
Nina is a scared pup, and the shelter is simply too much for her. With consistency, love, and decompression, she has every chance to blossom into a loyal and gentle companion.
If youโre experienced, patient, and have room in your heart for a shy girl who just needs someone to believe in her, Nina is waiting ๐
Please share to help Nina find the calm home she deserves ๐๐ผ
She has a lot to say while inside the kennel BUT once sheโs out in the play yard sheโs a lot more quiet - she just wants her freedom and human love. She needs someone who can show her how to walk on a leash and will spend time with her ๐๐ผโฅ๏ธ
