My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Nina is a 6-7yo 45lb border collie/german shepherd mix. She is a quirky girl and is also semi-FERAL. She's housebroken and crate trained, and walks amazing on the leash! She loves other dogs and is good with indoor cats. She is pretty high energy and enjoys going on hikes and playing with her canine siblings. She MUST go to a home where there is a resident confident adult medium-large dog. She has also discovered the comforts of the couch and loves to lay along the top and get petted while you watch movies. Because she can still be skittish with people though, she should NOT go to a home with children or apartment living (no exceptions!). She would do best in a gentle, quiet adult only home, with another dog(s) and a house with fenced yard. She has gained a lot of skills and confidence while in her foster home, but she is ready for the next chapter in her life with a new family that will continue to help her grow. She is a DOG’s companion, not a human’s companion.

Here is Nina’s story video: https://youtu.be/KxWGwurZVWk

She is not for first time dog owner, but all she needs is to live with another dog(s), a couch, and a yard.
