About Nina
Please only apply for this greyhound if you have:
- a grassed yard for zoomies
- a home with kids aged 12yrs+
🐾 Meet Nina - the Snuggle Queen 🐾
Looking for a best friend who’s equal parts snuggly, sweet, and stunning? Meet Nina, the 2-year-old greyhound with a velvet-soft coat and a nose dipped in cuteness (seriously – it looks like it’s been dipped in paint ).
Nina is 95% snuggle bug, 5% wild child – and completely adorable. Her favourite place in the world? Tucked in beside you with her head resting gently on your shoulder. She hasn’t raced, so the world is still new to her – and while she can be a little shy at first, once she warms up, she’ll be your loyal little shadow.
She walks beautifully on lead, happily trotting beside you with the occasional sniff of interest. She’s calm but nervous around other dogs but doesn’t bark, even if they do – she just needs a bit of gentle encouragement to know she’s safe.
A short 20-minute walk is usually enough for Nina, though she’s happy to go longer – just don’t be surprised if she needs a post-walk nap and snuggle.
Her 5% wild child side comes out when she gets the zoomies or excited puppy energy kicks in – cue the playful “shark teeth”! But with calm direction (and maybe a relaxing back or ear massage), she’s quickly back to her chill, snuggly self.
Nina loves her foster brother and can sometimes push the boundaries just to be close – she’s a real little sister! She’s content staying home with him as long as she has access to the outdoors. And yes – she’s now a confident stair master.
Nina would be best suited to a home with kids aged 12+ and someone who can help guide her with gentle patience through her more excitable moments.
If you’re looking for a soft-hearted, sofa-loving sweetheart who’s part cuddle champion, part cheeky sidekick – Nina is ready to melt your heart.
