Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Howdy! Are you looking for a black belt stuffy annihilator, WWE smackdown tug champion and pup cup connoisseur? If so, I could be the pup for you! My name is Nomi and I'm a two year old heeler mix weighing in at 35 lbs. My foster mom isn't sure what I'm mixed with, but she's fairly certain I'm part pig. I snort like a pig when I'm happy, waddle like a pig when I walk and I even love to watch pigs on t.v. and try to make friends with them! A rough life before Rescue Rovers taught me that humans can be scary, but I'm learning that humans can be really great. And once I fall in love with humans, I promise to love them forever. In fact, I'll spend every moment trying to show my humans how smart, funny and good I am. I've also learned that I really love the indoor life. I'm crate trained and I love my crate! If my foster parents can't find me, I'm found curled up in my crate with a cozy blanket and toy. And not only am I house trained, but I know how to use the doggy door, and my foster parents trust me to leave me out when they're gone. The last time they left, they came home to find me on the couch watching Dateline! I'd prefer Animal Planet, but I couldn't figure out how to change the channel. As you can see, once I get comfortable, my personality shines! My foster parents say that it may take a few weeks of patience and structure to get me fully comfortable in my new environment, but they say I'm worth it! I also need to take it nice and slow with new humans that visit until I know they won't hurt me. My foster parents have learned that lots of treats sure help! My favorite activities include sunbathing, stuffy destruction, walks around the neighborhood, car rides for pup cups, chewing my bones, zoomies, playing tug, naps and bum scratches. In fact, my foster parents taught me the phrase, "Let me see that butt" and I throw my rump their way for some good scratching. Because I'm a heeler, another activity I enjoy is herding, so my foster mom says that I'd do best in a home without kitties and with kids 12+. One thing you should know is that I don't love ALL doggie friends, but I definitely like some of them. We'd need to meet up and make sure we're going to get along. I'd probably do best with a male buddy, but a mellow female buddy could work too! I'd also be perfectly content as an only dog that gets all the attention! I'm very sensitive and just want my people to be happy with me. I've started training with my foster family and am very food motivated. I already know "sit", "down", "touch", "watch me", and "let me see that butt". I bet none of your other dog friends know that last one! My foster mom says that I'll need to continue with training to keep building my confidence and be the happiest girl I can be. I can't wait to learn more! If you could give a sweet girl like me love, safety and lots of snacks, you could be my forever family!
