Nina Ricotta

My story

Meet Nina! 13-year-old Nina was found as a stray several times and taken to San Diego Humane Society, and her dad always came for her. Sadly, he recently surrendered Nina to the shelter because he was in the hospital in poor health and no longer able to care for her. We welcomed Nina as a Frosted Face on June 4th, and all she had been through left her feeling understandably scared. Thankfully, going on two-week Frosted Fling, gave Nina time to decompress in a calm home environment, and her true personality is shining through! Her Fling Mom shares: "It's always rewarding to watch a shy, scared foster come out of her shell. Nina has a sweet, fun personality! She still hunkers down when you approach her, but she loves pets and will often jump up to bounce around you playfully. Nina enjoys lap time and pets throughout the day, she loves belly rubs, too. When my brother visited, Nina would go right to him and dance playfully around him. At bedtime, she'd follow me and my dogs into the bedroom and settle to sleep in a dog bed for the night. Nina is very mellow, super sweet, and comes when called. This sweetie pie has no separation anxiety, sleeps through the night, has no accidents in the house. She loves to greet you in the morning or upon your return home with cute little barks. She doesn't bark much otherwise and has been interacting well with my pack of small dogs." Be sure to watch the videos of Nina frolicking happily in the yard and house while on her fling and enjoying belly rubs! Nina is currently on a second fling while she waits for a forever family of her own. Might it be you? To meet Nina, please email placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org
