Here's what the humans have to say about me:
🧡 Nectarine: Sunshine in Dog Form
Do you love LOVE? Then you’ll adore Nectarine — a perfectly sized ginger pittie mix who gives her whole heart (and body!) to the people she loves. She’s pure sunshine wrapped in velvet fur, a mix of goofy enthusiasm and deep tenderness who’ll make sure you never have a joyless day again.
At almost seven years old, Nectarine still lives with the zest of a puppy — playful, curious, and always ready to make you laugh. After a heartbreaking start to life, she’s making up for lost time with every tail wag and joyful bounce. When she greets you, it’s not a polite hello — it’s a leap of love, her signature full-body hug that says, you’re my person.
Once she’s gotten her wiggles out, Nectarine is just as happy to snooze the day away. She’s incredibly well-behaved at home — fully house-trained, quiet, and content relaxing while you’re at work. Her fosters say she’s been phenomenal and well-mannered in every home she’s stayed in, all with glowing reviews.
Nectarine’s ideal home is:
🏠Loving and affectionate, where she’s treated like the cherished companion she is
🏠Patient and gentle, helping her continue to learn the world is safe
🏠Low-traffic and calm, since she takes time to warm up to new people
🏠Best with adults or older, respectful kids
🏠Active and outdoorsy, but equally enthusiastic about naps and snuggles
🏠Cat-free (or with careful, structured introductions)
🏠Single-pet or selective dog companion — she’s happy with one-on-one love
Nectarine is a smart, sensitive, and soulful dog who thrives on enrichment, learning new tricks, and solving puzzles (especially if they involve treats!). She’s worked hard to overcome her past and has blossomed with fear-free, positive training. She’s a dog who teaches you to slow down, listen, and love more deeply.
She’s ready to give all that love to her forever person — someone patient, understanding, and ready for full-contact cuddles. Because with Nectarine, there’s no halfway affection. It’s all in, all the time. ❤️
Adopt Nectarine and discover how healing, joyful, and hilarious true love can be.
