Nini is a gentle, 12-year-old Yorkshire Terrier who lives for cozy moments with her people. She loves snuggling up on the couch, relaxing beside her humans, and being part of the daily routine. On walks, she sometimes barks at things she’s unsure about, but it comes more from curiosity than fear—and once she feels secure, she settles easily. She’s incredibly sweet with strangers and has been calm and friendly around a baby.   Nini is fully housetrained, great in the car, and has no history of biting or destructive behaviour. While she previously lived with another dog, she began to resource guard, so an only-dog home may be the best match for her comfort and peace. Her energy level is moderate: she’s always happy to join you for a nice walk, but she’s equally content curling up beside you afterward.   If you’re looking for a loving, calm, snuggly senior companion with lots of life and affection still to give, Nini might be the perfect addition to your home.
