| Hi, I'm Nadia, & that is my 'original' name----it means 'Hope'. I am hoping for a new family/home this new year. (BTW, foster mom calls me Nadi!) I was abandoned by my longtime family in a shelter in Sept. 2016. I had not been to a vet in 2+ yrs., & my teeth were in bad shape. Also, being very arthritic w/ luxating patellas (kneecaps) that had 'frozen' in place, I was in much pain. Had a dental & after that, started to feel better. However, the arthritis can only be treated w/ supplements & pain med. The 'bow-legged' rear legs are permanent, & means I don't/can't do stairs. I am definitely more of a one-person dog, & bond fairly quickly/easily w/ my caretaker. Have some separation issues & that may be due to being 'shuffled' abt. betw. 4 family homes (mom, dad after divorce, adt. daughter, & relative w/ mom)! So sometimes I will bark my sadness for you for short time. I am house-trained (But if you 'disappear' too long, I will pee!!) I sleep in the 'Big Bed' & am a great sleeper----barely move at all! Travel in car great! Need a quiet/calm home, & really have few demands. I do need a good quality diet, as I will be 16 yrs. Feb. 24th, & mostly lay around. Fostered in eastern NC, & no long distance transport (but you are welcome to come get me!). |
