Story
Nya, short for Nyathera, meaning 'she survived,' embodies resilience and unconditional love. At approximately 12 years young and weighing 34 pounds, this sweet senior Bull Terrier mix has a remarkable story of survival and a heartwarming personality to match. Rescued from severe emaciation, Nya's journey has been one of triumph and transformation. Underneath her gentle demeanor lies a spirit filled with gratitude and affection for every person she encounters. Nya's foster mom describes her as nothing short of perfect—a sentiment echoed by anyone lucky enough to meet her. Despite her past hardships, Nya's love knows no bounds. She adores human companionship and isn't shy about expressing her desire for cuddles and affection. Whether it's snuggling up in your lap or nestling under your arm for pets, Nya's affection is boundless. Her love extends to her canine foster sisters, with whom she shares tender moments of cuddles and occasional bursts of playful energy. While Nya doesn't necessarily require another dog in her forever home, her foster mom believes that having a calm and gentle canine companion could help her continue to build confidence and provide companionship. Nya's ideal home would be one filled with love, patience, and perhaps a furry friend to keep her company. While she may prefer low-key activities like lounging on the couch or enjoying leisurely strolls in the yard, she's always up for an adventure, especially if it involves car rides or a trip to Starbucks for pup cups. As a senior dog with arthritis and occasional mobility challenges, Nya thrives in a calm and understanding environment. She will do best with kids over the age of 5 who are gentle with her. She's potty trained, but may have an occasional accident - this can be resolved by taking her out regularly. Nya is eager to please, with a keen intelligence that shines through in her efforts to learn new things, like learning to use bells to signal when she needs to go outside. While Nya may be mostly deaf, her heart listens keenly to the love and care of her human companions. Her loyalty knows no bounds, and she's happiest when by your side, soaking up every moment of affection and attention. Nya seeks a forever home with someone who understands the beauty of senior dogs and is willing to cherish her golden years. Whether you're retired, work from home, or simply have a heart full of love to give, Nya promises to be the most devoted and loving companion you could ever ask for. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this precious soul, Nya is waiting with open paws to become your loyal and loving companion.
