A volunteer writes: Nieva means “it snows” in Spanish, and aside from her beautiful white coat she has nothing in common with it! Nieva is the opposite of cold. In fact, each time I pass her kennel, she has the warmest greeting: the thud thud of her tail wagging and her soulful brown eyes pleading with me to take her out. Nieva seems very housetrained and is always quick to relieve herself. As she explores the yard, I can’t help but notice that her adorable bat ears are like tissue paper, and if you could hold them up to the sun, I have no doubt that you could see right through them! But Nieva really shines when you give her a ball. Though not always graceful, she will chase and retrieve the ball. She prefers a little soccer before giving it back, though–she bats it around with her paws, drops it a few times and kicks it to and fro before returning it to me to throw again. When I gave her a plushy toy, she would gently place it in my lap, gumming on it for a minute or two, until I would take it and throw it for her to retrieve, bringing it back to me and starting the game all over. Nieva is one of the sweetest, most fun dogs around…the kind that will have you looking forward to seeing her everyday. So please, ask to meet her today!

She responds well to handler interruptions and keeps to herself as she explores the pen. The Behavior Department recommends that Nieva be placed with dogs that are tolerant of her mounting behavior. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 2/3/17 Nieva was active, attention seeking, allowed all handling during her initial medical examination. ENERGY LEVEL: RECOMMENDATIONS: Average ( Suitable for a adopter with an average amount of dog experience) _x_Recommend no dog parks (Due to the display of assertive posturing Nieva has displayed and the propensity for that behavior to not be received well by other dogs, the Behavior Department recommends that Nieva initially not be taken to dog parks to give her adequate time to decompress from the shelter and her behavior towards other dogs be further addressed in a more controlled environment.)
