Nana was found alone on the streets of Stockton—and rescued from the shelter just before it was too late. 💔

Now she’s safe in foster care in Reno and learning what it means to be loved.

She’s about 1–2 years old, spayed, smart, and incredibly eager to please. Nana already knows her basic commands, is potty trained, and is working with a behavioral trainer to build confidence in a big, noisy world. She’s treat-motivated, affectionate, and just wants her person (or a really good toy).

Nana may need to be an only dog at first and would do best with an experienced bully-breed owner who can help her finish this journey—from survival to security. She’s not a “perfect” dog but en route - and she is a worth-it one.

If you believe second chances matter, Nana is ready.

Please share to help her find the home she’s been waiting for. 🐾❤️ Please email:mailto:janicekwalden@gmail.com for more info.
