This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.

Nerf is Miniature Pinscher mix who was found as a stray. She is a sweet girl that is looking for a forever home.

Nerf can be shy and timid with new people, dogs, places and experiences but give her some time and she will warm up.  A potential adopter will need to keep this in mind and go slow, work on socialization, give her plenty of exercise, and provide training and structure as she transitions to life in a forever home. Once she warms up she is so sweet and a pleasure to be around. She would do best in a low-key household without much foot traffic, no young children, and lots of patience and treats! She is going to make someone very happy. 

She enjoys lap time, but also has fun playing with toys. She has met cats and was a little overbearing at first but was mostly just playful.

She is quiet and clean in her crate, and she appears to be fully housebroken but prefers to potty in a fenced yard rather than on leas but that is improving.  Nerf is making great progress, but we recommend obedience training for all of our dogs because it helps the dog gain confidence and build a bond with her human. She just completed a basic obedience group class, and she was teacher's pet for sure!

Nerf is always affectionate and eager to please, and we think she will be an entertaining companion to anyone who is fortunate enough to bring her home!

An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see      HERE      for more information about this.
