My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Nina is a special pup! Don’t let the wheels fool you, she’s a fetch maniac with a need for speed!

Nina loves to go to all the places, wineries, cafes, Home Depot, pretty much anywhere she can
roll. She would be a great office dog. She likes to work out every day, a good 1.5 mile roll, or 40
minutes of fetch is pretty good. Her orange ball is her favorite possession – she has not yet
figured out that she actually has 5 balls that all look the same.

Nina is a pretty easy dog, not a barker, good for baths and nail trims, good in the car, loves all the people, happy to let you sleep until 9 am. She doesn’t love it when her people leave the house, but if she gets to go for a roll before you go and has a peanut butter kong she will grudgingly accept your absence.

Nina became a Pitties and Purrs pup in the summer of 2022. Her family could no longer care for
her and surrendered her to BARCS. She did not do well at BARCS and they did not feel they
were able to meet her needs. Nina was pulled by the rescue just an hour before her euthanasia
deadline. She has been partially paralyzed in her back legs for approximately 2 years. Several
months of physical therapy helped get her into a better position in her chair and bend her legs,
regain bladder control, and partial use of her right leg! She still needs her wheels and help
walking, but she continues to build muscle in her back legs.

Nina would do best in a home where she can be the only princess, but she has reluctantly
accepted the company of the cats and a dog in her current foster home-it took 6 months
though! She thinks dogs are okay, as long as they keep their distance or keep sniffs polite and
brief. She would also prefer a home with no cats.

You must be over 21 and a home owner to adopt me. Please visit www.pittiesandpurrs.org to fill out an application. For further information contact adoptpitties@gmail.com

Additional adoption info

Our comprehensive adoption process includes a pre-adoption application, background checks (including vet check), home visit and adoption contract. You must be 21 or over to adopt from us. Unfortunately we are unable to adopt our Pitties or Pitty mixes to adopters living in Prince George's County, MD, due to the BSL in place there. Please remember to check your home owners policy to make sure that your insurance company will cover you for bully breeds.

Our adoption fee is based on the age and health of the animal.
For dogs and cats, please e-mail adoptpitties@gmail.com.

More about this rescue

Pitties and Purrs is a small 501c3, foster-based rescue in Baltimore, MD. Our rescue dogs come from all over the country in order to be rehabilitated and to ultimately find their forever homes. Because we are a foster-based rescue, we completely rely on our incredible volunteers to care for & to temporarily welcome the dogs and cats into their homes to prepare them for adoption.
