Nina

My story

Nina is waiting patiently for her happily ever after. Could you be the one to give her a forever home?   Nina is 4 years old and looks to be a hound/lab mix, although her exact breed(s) are not known. She is fully grown at 50 lbs and 22” in height to her shoulders.  Nina was rescued with her two puppies, living amongst bushes and garbage on the streets of Mexico. Both of her pups have been adopted but Nina has been waiting over a year for a family of her own. Bigger dogs tend to get overlooked BUT keep reading to hear all about Nina and her loveliness.   Nina is with our incredible rescue partner in Guadalajara, which means she will arrive to Canada with a solid foundation of socialization and training. Before joining her forever family, Nina is working with a certified trainer to learn obedience and even some fun tricks! She is very receptive to training and she’d love to be with a family who will continue to build on her learning.  Nina currently lives with a foster family in Guadalajara so she’s accustomed to the home environment and is fully house trained. She also knows how to walk well on the leash and is crate trained. Nina shares her foster home with other doggies and enjoys the company of medium-large size dogs (rather than small dogs or puppies). She does not guard her food or toys and she’s not much of a barker. Nina’s personality is full of joy and curiosity for life. She likes her daily walks and exploring the outdoors, but she’s a calm dog who is happy to relax at home when you’re having a lazy day. Nina goes with the flow of her family and is content to be where her people are.  Nina’s very favourite thing on earth is the company of humans. She’s a total “people dog” - loyal, loving, and friendly. Nina loves to be shown affection and give affection in return. She’s the type of dog who will become your devoted best friend in no time!  Nina doesn’t have experience with cats but she does show interest in chasing squirrels and small critters. Given this, a home without kitties would be best. For those applying to adopt Nina, we will send updates and videos of her training progress in Mexico. You’ll see her beautiful personality and eagerness to please. We’re sure you will fall in love with her!
