"Hi, I am Nadia, second minpin in command at my foster home. I am so busy with things to do and a household to oversee. Frankly I don't know how they made it before I got here. I would love to be commander in chief, but that spot was already claimed by a smaller female minpin when I got here so I give her the respect she is due. I run a tight border on the fence line outside. I usually call the first alert should a stranger appear and plus someone has to keep that huge dog next door in line.

I make sure I get all the love and attention I need by laying across my foster parent's chests and 'talking' to them while they pet me and give me those lovely kisses on my neck. I love them back by rubbing my face on their cheek and giving them heartfelt kisses by twos and threes.

I do have an odd combination of two quirks. I suffer from separation anxiety and general anxiety so I take medication daily and am looking for someone who works from home or is retired. Also, I am also a lightening fast bolter around any open door. My foster parents crate or hold me while they do things like bring in groceries or greet people at the door so I can't escape. With diligent training I have gotten much better at my foster home and no longer have to be crated, but I will probably need reinforcement when I move to my forever home."

Note: Nadia is located in Nashville, TN.
