Nina is one of the four dogs that came from a puppy mill type of situation. She is slowly learning but we don’t want to push her too much, too fast. She is in a foster home and slowly learning what it is like to be a pet and not a breeding machine. She came to us just filthy and so skinny. She is slowly putting on weight and over time her bad looking coat will be shiny and look healthy. We were told by the owner that Nina is 7 years old. We are determined to have the rest of her life be wonderful. She is very scared of new situations so she has a crate set up and comes out on her own when she wants since the door is almost always open. What is really funny is often times the foster mom will come back and the crate door will be closed with Nina inside. So as you can see she is a smart girl that even pulls her own door closed when overwhelmed. She is working on housebreaking and doing well. She is good with the other dog in the home and doesn’t chase the cat at all. No small children due to her level of inexperience.
