Pet of the week - Nana

Young, loving mix breed pup needs home

From pound puppies to purebred cats, Patch spotlights pets who enjoy what Shoreline/Lake Forest Park has to offer. For some pups, like this week’s pet Nana, all they need is a loving and safe home.

This 1 1/2 year-old girl is charming and affectionate. She lost her home because her owner’s living situation changed.

Nana is a 58-pound Pit Bull Terrier mix with a friendly and sweet disposition. She can be a bit shy and nervous in new situations, but once she warms up she is a loving and devoted companion.

Her favorite past time is playing with chew toys. She also enjoys daily exercise. She is smart and eager to please. She has learned sit, down, stay, wait, release and kennel up.

Nana’s ideal new home will be with someone that has experience with strong breeds. She would make a wonderful family pet, but she would be best off with older children.
