Nina is a striking 11-month-old purebred black German Shepherd with a captivating story.
Rescued from a challenging past, Nina's journey has been one of resilience and newfound discovery.
While she's incredibly intelligent and inquisitive, Nina, unfortunately, struggles to coexist with cats.
As a result, my three beloved house cats have found refuge in my barn for safety.
I deeply care for Nina, but I fear for the safety of my cats, sheep, and chickens.
Evidently, Nina lacked socialization and possibly spent most of her earlier days confined, yet her potential shines through her curiosity and intelligence.
She is not spayed yet but I got her chipped and tended to under the care of Dr.
Gray at Rivers Edge Vet Clinic in Albany.
Despite her initial challenges, Nina has shown remarkable progress.
She's accompanied me on various trips and is gradually embracing new experiences, displaying an eagerness to learn and explore.
At 75 lbs, she's often admired for her stunning appearance.
Her hips are strong and upright, not slanted downward as show dogs tend to be.
Nina responds well to basic commands and is becoming more accustomed to indoor living.
She is housebroken now and spends her nights in a crate in my bedroom but freely roams the house during the day, enjoying the outdoors alongside me.
Her enthusiasm for treats makes her highly trainable and eager to please.
She goes with me into stores and on walks, meeting other people and dogs.
She is starting to enjoy car rides also.
She should go to a home without cats or small animals.
She is jealous of my other dog and "protects" me from him but gets along well on walks and in the car.
Nina is seeking a special someone—a patient, proficient, and enthusiastic owner willing to invest time and care in her continued development.
With her youthful spirit, I believe she has the potential to excel in roles like search and rescue, given the right training.
Her exceptional scenting ability could prove invaluable in such endeavors.
If you have a big heart and a passion for guiding a young, bright dog like Nina through her journey, she could be the perfect fit for you.
She's eager to explore and forge a loving bond with her new owner.
Her rehoming fee is small or none to the right person or family.
