Nina!, Terrier (unknown Type, Small) For Adoption In Lincoln, California

Price:

$350

Location:

Lincoln, CA

Description:

Nina is a darling little terrier mix. She is around 2 years old and 20 lbs. She is looking for a home with a secure fenced yard, social and playful companion dog(s) and no kids. Due to her initial time to warm up, she will require multiple meets. New home will need to be within 30 min of Roseville. Please read the information about Nina before inquiring about her.. Nina is a bit different from other dogs, she is not a cuddly dog and prefers to love her humans from arms length. While she enjoys a pat on the head and occasional short petting sessions she can become overwhelmed if someone is too insistent on being physically affectionate with her for too long. With time she may or may not enjoy more physical affection. She does not feel comfortable being picked up and is used to using steps to get into the back of an SUV or tall vehicle. Nina absolutely loves other friendly dogs and will happily romp around the yard with them. She likes to wrestle and play chase with her dog buddies. She likes being outside and exploring in the yard while her people do yard work. She loves treats and chewing on bully sticks. She has not figured out the use for toys or balls at this point. Nina can be shy/timid with new people and in new situations. She has shown that she will warm up with slow, gentle introductions and treats. She will require patience and understanding to feel comfortable in a new home. Someone who has the time, patience and willingness to help a shy dog gain confidence would be ideal. Once she is comfortable in a home she is happy, silly and playful. She likes to lay near her people but has never jumped on the furniture and prefers the floor or a dog bed close by everyone. Nina is crate trained, and housebroken in her foster home. She currently lives with dog savvy cats and is respectful with them but will challenge shy kitties and chase if they run. She enjoys walks and is polite on a leash. Once comfortable with her people she comes when called and listens well. Nina would do well in a home with a confident companion dog or two to pal around with, help show her the ropes and keep her company while her humans are away from home. Children would likely overwhelm her so an adult only home for her. She is an alert barker so no apartments for her. She likely would not do well being left home alone daily for long hours. Nina is a sweet little dog who is waiting for a special someone who can accept, appreciate and love her on her terms.
