My name is Nun!

Have you ever been lured in by that adorable, fluffy little dog that looks like she’s all grown up, only to find out she’s just a giant puppy with a lot of growing to do? Yeah, not happening here. Meet Nun. Nun is not big. Nun will never be big. In fact, she’s the biggest of her litter, and when we say "big," we mean she’s a whopping 4lbs. Yeah, you read that right. Her mom’s only 25lbs, so you can put any thoughts of her becoming a polar bear on hold. But maybe, just maybe, she’ll grow into the size of a... very fluffy, slightly oversized ferret? Or perhaps a chubby squirrel, just a little more 'raccoon chic'? Either way, she’s adorable and that’s all that matters. Nun is a six-week-old female Schnauzer mix from our Holy litter. And no, we didn’t come up with that name after a lengthy theological debate—it's because these little saints are holy adorable and will be ready for their new homes around Easter. See what we did there(well all kudos go to their foster family on that one)? You're welcome for the cleverness. 😉

Nun’s approach to other dogs? Well, she’s got that confident puppy vibe, which, let’s face it, is basically a cheat code for making friends. She really believes every dog will love her, and shockingly, they usually do. It’s like she walks up and says, "Hey, I’m adorable, you’re adorable, let’s be besties," and somehow it works. She’s basically a four-legged diplomat with zero concept of personal space, but who needs boundaries when you’re this cute? When it comes to tiny humans, Nun is the ultimate lap dog. Some kids came by, and without hesitation, she found the comfiest lap, plopped down, and declared it her throne. If there’s one thing she loves more than making dog friends, it’s soaking up all the cuddles from the sticky-fingered chaos that is a kid. And people? Well, Nun’s motto is clear: “People were created to love.” She’s basically the dog equivalent of a red carpet event, greeting every new human like they’re a long-lost friend. You’ve never seen a more enthusiastic “hello” than Nun’s full-body wiggle. It’s like she’s convinced everyone was put on this earth just to adore her—and honestly, she’s not wrong. As for cats or small critters, Nun hasn't met anything smaller than her yet, but at this age, she’s probably going to be just fine with them. She’s still all about discovering the world, so cats should be viewed as just another opportunity for a new, adorable friend.

Nun’s energy level is about a solid 6 on the scale—think hummingbird meets caffeinated squirrel. She’s got just enough pep to keep you on your toes but won’t be trying to outlast an Olympic sprinter. She’s the kind of dog that can entertain herself for hours with a single leaf, yet still collapse into a nap five minutes after. Now, if Nun were a road trip buddy, she’d be that overly enthusiastic co-pilot who thinks every stop is a pit stop for an impromptu party. You know the one—the dog who bounces from seat to seat, convinced it’s her turn to sit in the front and is probably trying to ride shotgun even though she’s a solid 4lbs. Is Nun an adventure-seeker or a homebody? Well, given her confident attitude, she’s more of the "charge ahead" type, always ready to go where the action is. That said, she’s not exactly about to drag you to the ends of the earth—she’s got just enough spunk to keep you on your toes, but she won’t be hauling you off to the Arctic Circle anytime soon. Her idea of an adventure is probably a bit more like "let's hit the backyard and see what smells are out there." As for walks, right now, Nun’s still figuring out how this whole "leash" thing works. You’d think she’d understand it’s not a chew toy by now, but alas, the leash is still suspiciously wiggly in her eyes. But don’t worry, once she gets the hang of it, I imagine she’ll be up for anything. Whether it’s a walk around the block or a full-on park adventure, she’s got the energy for it, and probably the enthusiasm to make it fun. Just don’t expect her to take it too seriously. She’s more about the journey than the destination.

So, let’s talk dealbreakers. If you’re thinking of adopting Nun and you don’t want to potty train her, well, good luck. She’s a puppy, and we all know that potty training isn’t just an optional activity—it’s a mandatory experience. If you’re someone who doesn’t believe in picking up after your dog and you’re the type to leave your shoes lying around, wondering why they’ve mysteriously disappeared into a pile of shredded fluff, let’s just say, Nun’s probably going to "help" you figure that out. If you also fall into the category of "never wanting to leave the house to socialize your dog," then maybe Nun isn't for you. She’s small, yes, but she’s got big puppy energy and a need to meet all the people, other dogs, and probably even the mailman. If you’re not up for a social butterfly who demands to meet every living being in a ten-mile radius, then you might want to rethink this whole thing. She’s not going to be cool with you being a hermit while she’s out there trying to make the world her playdate. Nun is tiny, and she might just disappear under the couch or behind the curtains, and you’ll find yourself genuinely wondering where she went. If you don’t have the patience to play the “Where’s Nun?” game on a regular basis, you might want to consider a dog that’s a little more… visible. Hey, you wanted a tiny dog and now you have one. ;)

So, if you’ve read this far and are still convinced Nun is your perfect match (because, let’s face it, she totally is), here’s what you need to do: Fill out an adoption application at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app, pronto! We’ll send it straight to her foster family, and they’ll be thrilled to hear you’re ready to welcome her into your home. You’ll need to pick her up in Broken Arrow, OK, because she’s not exactly hopping on a flight to you just yet. And she won’t be available to go home until around March 16th. So, go ahead and make your future best friend feel extra special by submitting that application. Time is ticking, and Nun’s ready to start her next adventure with YOU.
