About Nina
Nina is a sweet-natured, highly affectionate young dog who loves being close to her people and is always happy to head out for a walk. She walks calmly on lead, settles well indoors at night in her own bed, and enjoys gentle attention and companionship.
She shows friendly interest in other dogs and children and appears to have a playful, social temperament that will blossom further with continued training and routine. She is untested with cats, but given her loving nature would probably do well with supervised indoor exposure.

✓ Heading towards fully house-trained, but still using puppy pads while recovering from desexing

Ideal Home
Nina would suit a home willing to continue her training, provide daily exercise and enrichment and, importantly, include her as an integral part of the family. With consistency and guidance, she will grow into a loyal, affectionate, people-focused companion.
