About Nunu

Hello, my name is Nunu and I am a big, sweet girl in need of a new forever home!! Life has been very confusing for me lately because my mom got sick and went to the hospital; then I was left alone (luckily my owner's daughter came by to feed me and spend time with me a few times a day); and since my mom passed away, I'm now in a 'foster home' and I've been living here for a couple of weeks now. I am a 7 year old female/spayed Boxer mix and I'm big and strong at 80 lbs, but my foster is working with me to get me down to about 65-70 lbs. My foster mom is so impressed with my intelligence and adaptability -- after living my entire life with my mom, I'm doing great in my foster home. I am now with two other large dogs and I get along with them so well! I've been good about eating near them with no issues and I learned to use the doggy door very quickly. I have over an acre to run and play on now and I love it! I will bark when I see cars driving down the road or if there are rabbits, squirrels, etc., but I am quiet inside the house. Though there are no children in my foster home, I was very patient and accommodating with my owner's 3 year old grandson and a cat that used to live with us. I am not destructive in the house and really am pretty relaxed most of the time! I'm not really a lap dog, but I do like to cuddle! I like car rides and have been to the dog park and think it's lots of fun, but I'm also a couch potato and am happy to be at home with my person/family. I have a red Kong toy that I love - especially when my mom would put peanut butter in it - who doesn't like that?!?! I have lived mostly with women and children in my life so you might say I prefer them, but I warm up pretty quickly to men who do not yell or act angry. I have a very sensitive spirit and I need a gentle, peaceful family and environment because I have tried to protect my family in the past and the Safe Place for Pets folks feel I shouldn't live somewhere that I have to be 'on guard' and need to be protective. If you are a relaxed, loving, peaceful person or family that is interested in meeting me and seeing what a sweetheart I am, please call Safe Place for Pets at 719-359-0201 or submit a pet inquiry about me at www.safeplacepets.org. I am happy in my foster home, but will be even happier in my forever home!!
