About

Meet Nesta

This 4-month-old Shepherd mix is bursting with energy, curiosity, and love! Currently weighing 27 pounds, Nesta is the ultimate explorer who will love to play tug of war with you.Nesta has adjusted to her new foster home well, after investigating every inch of course. Once she's comfortable, she's happy to spend her days chasing her foster siblings, and learning good puppy manners. Crate training has been a breeze and she sleeps through the night quietly. Potty training is a work in progress, but she’s made impressive strides in just ten days, reliably using potty pads near the door. As the weather warms up, her foster family is confident she’ll transition to outdoor potty breaks with ease.Sometimes, it seems her energy knows no limits—at both play time and meal time! She’s still learning to slow down during meals with the help of a slow feeder. While she doesn’t require a fenced yard to burn off her energy, her future family will need to keep her safely leashed outside and prepare for lots of fun and games.Nesta is still learning to fully trust people, so she has discerning tastes when it comes to making new friends. Once she decides you’re okay, she’ll be your most loyal companion! While she hasn’t met cats or children yet, she could thrive in a home with confident cats or older kids, provided there’s guidance and supervision. A tolerant resident dog will be helpful for Nesta's future home to help her learn puppy boundaries and giving her the playmate she craves. If you’re looking for a smart, playful, and resilient puppy, Nesta is ready to meet you!If you are interested in this dog, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $550.
