Think sheās a puppy? Think again.
Low-maintenance, easy-going, and extremely lovableāthose are the top ways Iād describe Nina. Sheās unlike any Shih Tzu Iāve ever homed before. Beyond her tricky, puppy-like features, Nina also carries the heart and spirit of one. Sheās a tiny, āprincess-typeā Shih Tzu who originally came from a family in Brazil and has traveled by air countless times to different countries where they lived.
But donāt let her delicate looks fool youāNina has a brave personality. At the WOOFsitter house, where sheās often surrounded by medium and giant breeds eager to play, she knows how to set her boundaries confidently.
She also has the quirkiest habits: she clings only to her chosen humans and accepts food only from select people. Yet, thatās exactly what makes her so endearing. If youāre a parent, youād understand the joy of giving to a non-demanding childāthatās how we feel with Nina. Every time we see her name on our booking list, the entire family lights up with excitement knowing sheās staying with us.
Beyond the joy of caring for such a unique dog we love deeply, weāve also grown fond of Claudia and her husband, who continuously extend kindness and support without being asked.
This is one of the perks of being The WOOFsitter: opening our home not only to remarkable dogs like Nina but also building lasting relationships with their families. Iām beyond grateful that what began with Nina has led us to cross paths with once-strangers like Claudia.
Oh, and did I mention? Nina is 14 years old. š
