Meet Nesta!

Nesta is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves being close to her people. She's gentle with kids, eager to please, and a quick learner who enjoys training, treats, and enrichment. Once she bonds with you, she's a loyal little shadow who just wants to be part of your world.

Nesta is also a sensitive and observant pup who is still learning to feel confident in the outside world. Busy or unpredictable environments can feel overwhelming for her right now, so she does best with calm, patient guidance and a structured approach. She's not quite a "take everywhere" dog yet, but she has so much potential with the right support.

At home, Nesta is a wonderful companion who enjoys relaxing near her people and settling in her crate when she needs a break which still needs some encouragement sometimes. She does well with visitors and other dogs after a warm-up period and may especially benefit from a confident, well-balanced dog in the home to help her feel more secure.

Nesta is looking for a home that can provide a calm, consistent environment and is excited to continue helping her build confidence at her own pace. With time, patience, and love, she will grow into a deeply loyal and rewarding companion.
