Meet Nectarine! Age: 3 years Weight: 43 lbs Sex: Female (spayed) Nectarine is the perfect blend of sweet and mellow with just a splash of silliness. She may be a little shy at first, but once she feels comfortable, she’s a total sweetheart — and she absolutely shines in a home environment. During an overnight sleepover with a volunteer, Nectarine showed off her best houseguest behavior. She was calm, quiet, housetrained, and an all-around couch potato. She slept in the human bed like a pro, rode perfectly in the car, handled the elevator like a champ, and enjoyed lounging on the patio. As her sleepover buddy Tracy said, “She is lovely! Walks great, so sweet!” At the shelter, Nectarine has been a rockstar in playgroup — participating in 20+ playgroups! She loves low-energy bouncy chase games and gets along well with other dogs. She's got excellent leash skills, a calm demeanor, and a gentle heart that makes her an easy companion. If you’re looking for a quiet, affectionate, playful pup who’s already got the house manners down, Nectarine is ripe for the picking! Medical Notes: Nectarine came to us earlier this year from a cruelty case. Upon arrival, she tested positive for heartworms, which has been fully treated in our care. No further treatment is needed beyond routine annual heartworm testing. She also tested positive for Babesia, a microscopic parasite that affects red blood cells. While she’s doing great, she will need two follow-up blood draws to confirm a negative status — our shelter will fully cover the cost and send out the testing.
