Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Nunu🩷
Nunu is a super gentle dog who gets really excited whenever she sees visitors at the shelter. She may have been abandoned by her owner without care for a long period of time, considering that she was unkempt enough to appear tattered. Adogs rescued her right away because the summer was a higher risk period for filarial infection. She was tested positive for heartworms, but is currently receiving treatment.
** Health Status
- Is getting heartworm treatment.
- Is monitoring with concerns about patella of hind legs and surgery may be necessary at a later stage.
- Her lower canine is not in a good condition. Further check is scheduled.
* Toward People: Stays calm even when strangers touch her and grabs nicely treats from them. A slow and gentle approach is recommended because she fears large or abrupt movements. Enjoys being held and requests for being petted, when she is acclimated to people. Loves people so much and prefers adult to children..
* Toward Dogs: Has a high level of fear, and is occasionally attacked by other dogs. Tends to greet a new dog attentively and display a cautious attitude even with familiar dogs.
* Separation Anxiety: Enjoys her own time. Plays cheerfully with nose-work and spends the remaining time sleeping once the nose-work is done.
* Potty Training: Outdoor potty. Does not do marking indoors.
* Hygiene: Accepts soaping body nicely but does not like soaping head or rinsing. Dislikes dryer sound and dries with towels instead. Hates combing but tolerates well.
* Walks: Does not pull on the leash. Is afraid of kids or bicycle.
* Car sickness: Long-distance car sickness disappears and she takes a car well without car sickness.
* Is laid-back, lovely and smart. Is a quick learner enough to sponge what she learns even only once.
* No nipping or barking.
