Story
I found Nyssa through a Facebook post. She was going to be dropped off at a shelter, and I just couldn’t let that happen. Her birthday is December 19, 2023. I’m looking for a home with another dog, kids, or an active person. I just want someone that has the time to take her on long walks, a run, or has time to play with her often. She’s so intelligent. She only needs to be shown a command a few times before she picks it up. She loves to run and get attention from any and everyone she sees. I’ve let her sleep in my bed, jump to greet people, and bark when she sees strangers on walks. Those are the possible behaviors I can see maybe being an issue for someone else, so I’d want to consider them.

Story
Selena is patiently waiting for her loving home, and Kelley, her foster, can’t stop raving about her: "Selena is a great dog. She's smart and extremely affectionate. She figured the doggy door out day one, housebroken day 3. She loves to play fetch and eat. Training is going to be a cinch for anyone wanting to give her a little time. She gets along well with other dogs." Kelley scooped up our Selenny on January 13th, giving our beloved, longest shelter resident a much needed break. Since her arrival to the shelter, Selena has blossomed, going from 43 lbs to a healthy 50 lbs, proof that she never turns down a good meal! True to her smart and eager nature, Selena quickly masters any new training thrown her way. Now heartworm-free and ready for her next chapter, Selena is all set to begin a fresh start in a loving home. Could it be yours? Help this sweet and intelligent girl finally find the home she deserves by sharing this post. And, if you're looking for a loyal companion who’s playful, loving, and gets along great with other dogs, Selena is your perfect match. 💕 Want to set up a meet and greet? 📧 foster@southernpinesanimalshelter.org
