Meet El Nina!

This 10lb sweetheart was found abandoned and pregnant, and was never claimed by anyone. True to her breed, Nina is affectionate, loyal, and happiest curled up as your personal lap warmer. She’s also lived with cats and does best with the ones who are dog-savvy.

Even tiny dogs need structure, and without it, Nina will happily run your household like a pint-sized Napoleon. For that reason, a home without small kids—and all the constant comings and goings—is best. Nina is crate trained, knows the dog door, and is super food- and toy-motivated, which makes her fun to train. With clear rules and boundaries, she thrives, finding comfort in her people and her dog siblings. She’ll need a home with other social, confident dogs who can help her feel safe and become her pack. Once she settles in and builds a relationship, you'll find her curled up with her favorite dog sibling.

Don’t be fooled by her size—Nina loves adventure! Nina may have been abandoned once, but she’s ready to be claimed for good. If you’re looking for a tiny companion with a big personality, Nina’s your girl.
*One last cool thing about El Nina is that a generous sponsor has donated toward her adoption fee!  Once you have an approved application, her foster mom can tell you all about that (and answer any other questions you have!)
