Description: Meet Nonna
Meet Nonna. At 10 years young, this sweet terrier mix has clearly weathered some storms. Her eyes are soft, her spirit is quiet, and though she's nervous here at the shelter, there's a peacefulness about her that's impossible to ignore. Nonna is gentle and easy on leash, she walks slowly, sniffing the world like she's trying to understand it again. She doesn't pull, doesn't demand, and asks for very little… just kindness, and time. She may be shy at first, but offer her a calm voice and an open heart, and you'll be rewarded with soft tail wags, quiet belly rolls, and a look of trust that feels like a gift. She's not interested in toys or treats right now but what she wants most is to feel safe. Nonna would do best in a calm home (kids 8+) where she can go at her own pace, with someone who understands that healing takes time. If you're looking for a quiet companion who will fill your home with warmth, grace, and quiet love, Nonna is waiting for you!
