If you’ve ever wished for a dog who is truly low-maintenance, quietly loving, and just happy to be near you, Nina Lou is the one.
Watch her video and fall in love with her gentle sweet soul: https://youtu.be/yU9eroOy9pY?si=odCj-psQtE1KM6R_
Nina Lou is believed to be a Beagle mix and with those ears, she may even have a little hint of Chihuahua sprinkled in. Whatever her breed may up is, she is absolutely adorable! Nina is approximately 6 years old and currently weighs 33 lbs. She’s an older girl with the perfect size, not too big, not too small, just the right fit for a home where she can be loved and adored. Nina is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age.
Nina is gentle, calm, and incredibly well-mannered. She’s the kind of dog who will quietly sit beside you, soaking in your presence, and giving you that peaceful, “I’m here for you” kind of love. Nina enjoys spending time outside to do her business, but she’s always ready to come back inside the moment her people call. she wants to be where her humans are. She’s also a great companion for someone who wants a dog who can thrive in either an apartment or a home with a backyard. She’s low-energy enough to be comfortable in smaller spaces, but she also loves a yard to quietly explore, sniff around, and enjoy the outdoors.
Nina is currently fostered in a home with five other large dogs, and she gets along great with all of them. She’s not super playful or rowdy, she’s more of the calm observer type. She loves to roam the yard, explore quietly, and watch the other dogs play from a distance. She’s the perfect “big sister” who doesn’t need to be the center of attention. She also loves snuggling up with her foster siblings on the dog bed. She’s a true cuddle buddy and enjoys being close to her pals. Nina would do best in a home with a dog that has the same tempo as her. Cool, calm, collected, not looking for a playmate, but looking for a snuggly friend. If you don’t have other dogs, that’s totally fine by Nina. She will gladly be the center of your attention and the princess of your household.
Nina enjoys car rides and is a calm, relaxed passenger. She doesn’t get anxious or restless, she just enjoys the ride and being near you. Nina is not destructive in the home. She has excellent house manners and respects the space she’s in. She’s the kind of dog who will quietly hang out while you work, nap on the sofa or her bed, and be your peaceful coworker. She won’t interrupt you, but she’ll be right there beside you. Your constant, loyal shadow. Nina has a cute, happy wiggly butt that shows just how content she is. She’s also a big fan of chew bones, give her one and she’s instantly in her happy place.
If you’re looking for a calm, sweet, well-mannered companion who will love you unconditionally and quietly follow you everywhere, Nina is ready to meet you. She’s the kind of dog who doesn’t need a lot, just a loving home and someone to be her person.
We are willing to test Nina Lou with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
