History:

Nya came into Senior Staffy Club after she was found straying. She was taken home, but was disclaimed by her owners due to unsuitable living conditions.

Current:

Nya is currently having a wonderful time in foster. She has settled in beautifully.

Her frosty tells us:

Nya is a gorgeous, intelligent & energetic girl. She is extremely affectionate & loves snuggling up as much as she can.

Visitors to the house get the warmest of welcomes and she delights in sharing her "Tonka" toys with them! She loves her food and treats and soon learnt when it's time to give me a nudge for breakfast or tea.

At bedtime she settles down on the bed and sleeps all the way through the night (just a very gentle purring snore) until I put on the light & time for a quick visit in the garden!

She deserves the best home ever.

Walking:

Nya loves her walks. When she first arrived she was quite strong on the lead and pulled, we don’t believe she had had any lead training.

In the foster home, whilst on walks, she was showing signs of lead frustration and over-arousal and excitement around dogs. Sometimes resulting in her being strong on the lead.

We having been working with a behaviourist and she is responding very well and with frosty’s help is learning to remain calm.

Travelling:

Nya has really started to settle whilst travelling in the car. She has a little sing initially, then settles down.

Vets:

The vet came to kennels to see Nya when she was there. She was always a good girl and stayed still for her vet checks and treatment.

Health:

Nya had a full health check on arrival, including blood tests. The vet confirmed her blood results were good for her age.

Ideal home:

Nya would need to be the only pet in the home.

She loves to play, so we feel children living in the home should be aged 11+.

She is very clean in the home, we haven’t had any accidents.

She absolutely loves snuggling on the sofa next to you, so someone who is home lots and loves company would be perfect for her.

She is a confident girl and will stay home alone for short periods of time. She isn’t destructive in anyway, but loves you to be home with her.

You will need to be prepared to continue her training, avoid regular on-lead greetings, use distance proactively to allow her to remain calm on the lead and provide daily enrichment.

Standard information:

Nya is microchipped, vaccinated and spayed.

She is currently in foster in Nottingham, but she can be rehomed anywhere in the UK, pending a successful home visit. However, any adopter should be willing to travel to meet her at least twice where she is now.

There is a non-refundable adoption donation of £120 for Nya and all money donated goes directly to helping all the Senior Staffies in our care.
