Meet Nonna

Nonna is a beautiful girl who has been through hell and back, yet somehow, she never let the cruelty of her past take away the sweetness in her heart.

Nonna came to us from Georgia after surviving terrible neglect. She endured things no dog should ever have to experience, and while we may never know everything she went through, we know that she deserved so much better.

But Nonna doesn't let her past define her.

Despite everything she has endured, she is sweet, loving, and ready to trust again. There is something incredibly special about a dog who has every reason to be afraid of the world, yet still chooses to give love.

Now, we want to give Nonna the life she should have had all along. A safe home. A soft bed. A family who will cherish her. People who will show her every single day that she is finally safe and that she will never have to experience that kind of life again.

Nonna has already survived the hardest part. Now she deserves to simply be loved.

Please consider opening your heart and home to this beautiful girl. Nonna's past is only part of her story. Her future is still waiting to be written, and we hope it is filled with nothing but love.

Please remember that adoption bios are only a snapshot of each animal. They are meant to give you a glimpse into their personality and story, but there is so much more to learn. Please reach out to our Adoption Team for additional information about Nonna and to learn if she may be the right fit for your home.

All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Please note that the listed location for this dog may not be accurate due to technical limitations of this database and we have transportation options available within 6 hours of NYC (so don't let location hold you back)!
