My name is Nina!

Nina isn’t just a puppy—she’s a presence. At 80 pounds and still growing, this confident young lady knows exactly what she wants out of life: snacks, snuggles, and the spotlight. Petite? Never heard of her. Nina is embracing her size and sass, and she hopes you will too.

She’s more beauty than brains, and she wears that proudly. Nina leads with her heart (and her nose), always on the lookout for her next snack or someone to love on. She’s goofy, affectionate, and full of puppy charm, with just the right amount of stubborn to keep you on your toes.

Nina would thrive in a home that appreciates a strong-willed, loving dog who brings both comedy and cuddles in equal measure. With a little guidance and a lot of love, she’ll grow into an incredible companion.

If you’re ready for big love, big laughs, and even bigger snuggles, Nina is waiting to meet you.
