Story
***Currently located in Santa Cruz, CA
Hi, I'm Nairobi!
I'm part of the Money Heist Litter — yep, we’ve got some serious star power in our names! My seven siblings and I were found in a very dangerous area near a busy street. Life was tough, but a kind shop owner had been feeding our brave mama, Lisbon, helping her stay strong until help arrived. Even though Surfers for Strays were already full, they didn’t turn us away. They visited us every day, made sure Mama had enough food, and watched over us until they could create a safe space at the shelter. Thanks to their determination (and a bit of creativity with quarantine space!), we were finally brought to safety. Now, we’re all growing up surrounded by love, care, and plenty of tail wags.
If I’ve met you once or twice… you’re probably my new best friend I love greeting my people (and my dog friends!) with kisses, tail wags, and lots of enthusiasm. Now that I am in my foster home in the US I know that I love being warm and cozy, love the sun and love love love the outdoors!
My PersonalityI’m affectionate, social, and love being around people—but I also have an independent side. I enjoy connection, and then I’m just as happy going off to explore, sniff, and take in the world with my nose.I don’t need endless physical exercise—instead, I LOVE:- exploring new environments - sniffing and following scents - playing cognitive games (I’m very smart and have learned advanced puzzle games quickly!) - I also enjoy a bit of fetch and play, but my favorite thing is using my brain and my nose.
What I’m Great At- Walking nicely on a leash - Being very treat-motivated (I LOVE food—it’s my favorite!) - Learning quickly—I’m clever and enjoy training - Being friendly with people- Playing well with other dogs off-leash If you have treats, I will probably trust you pretty quickly
My Chill SideI’m fully crate trained and actually enjoy having my own space. When I’m tired or want to relax, I’ll put myself to bed, chew a bone, or cuddle up with a toy.I also love cozy spots like beds and couches and can settle nicely when my needs are met.
Important to KnowI’m very curious about the world—including other animals. Because of my strong prey drive, I’m not a good fit for homes with small animals like rabbits or similar pets. My current foster home has a rabbit, and I’ve become a bit too interested, which has made it hard for me to fully relax and be part of the home.I’m also still working on staying calm around other dogs while on leash, but I do better with dogs that I know and can play off-leash.
My Ideal HomeI would thrive in a home that offers:- space to explore (yard, land, or access to outdoors) - no small animals (e.g rabbit) - someone who enjoys an affectionate but independent dog - continued structure and guidance to help me grow
A home where I can be included, explore freely, and not feel restricted (such as constant barriers due to sharing space with a small animal) would make me very happy.
A Note From MeI’m a loving, curious, and adaptable girl who really wants to be part of a home where I can relax, explore, and be myself. I bond easily, love my people, and bring a lot of personality and joy wherever I go. I just need the right environment to truly shine.
If you think we might be a good match, I’d love to meet you
Love,Nairobi
