Nana Saint Bernard Appin, ON

Nana
2yr old female Saint Bernard

Nana is a sweet, gentle girl who will steal your heart. It has been an absolute pleasure to have her in our care, but the time has come for her to find a family of her own where she will be loved and spoiled for the rest of her days.
Nana's life before rescue was not an easy one. She often shies away from strangers, and needs slow and calm introductions. Nana lives with three other dogs in her foster home. They have helped to show her it's okay to trust people and that walks and backyard zoomies are the best! She would do well with another dog in the home as she often looks to her dog friends for direction. At night, she sleeps on a dog bed in her foster parents' room or in the hallway nearby. During the day she prefers to be free roaming and is most often found snoring away in a quiet hallway where she feels safest. Nana occasionally struggles with housetraining and will need patience with the transition to a new home and new routines. She startles easily and will shut down if she is scared. A quiet home with a calm energy is a must for this girl.
True to her breed, Nana is a gentle giant who drools like a champ. Water bowls are changed frequently in her foster home as the other dogs stand back in utter disgust after she has a drink. Don't even get us started on the hair. Yes, Saints shed. A lot. You need to be prepared for that. Drool and hair. All the time, in all the places.
Nana has attached herself to her foster dad and lights up when he comes into the room. It will be a tough goodbye for all of us, but we know that she will learn to love and trust someone else who will give her the unconditional love she so deserves. Nana is fostered in London, Ontario. We are only considering applicants within Ontario, with local applicants preferred as she may need a few visits before she will be comfortable leaving with her adoptive family.
Nana has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and treated with Nexgard Spectra.

The adoption fee is $600 and includes spay/neuter (dogs over 6 months), vaccines, heartworm test (dogs over 6 months), deworming, Flea and tick prevention and microchip. Please visit www.paws-united.com to fill out an application.
**For puppies under 6 months a $200 spay/neuter rebate will be given with proof of spay/neuter certificate signed by a vet, if they have not been done prior to adoption.**
**Please note we DO NOT adopt our dogs as outdoor/farm dogs. These dogs are coming to us as stray, roaming or dogs that have lived a life tied to a chain. Our goal is to bring them in the house off the chain and give them a pampered indoor dogs lifestyle. Unless otherwise stated we will not even consider a home that has intentions of leaving our dogs outdoors or tied to a chain**
***We do require every applicant to provide a vet reference and we do follow up with your vet. If you do not currently have a vet as you have no pets, we strongly encourage you to do your research and contact vets to make sure they are accepting new patients. You must have a vet in place before bringing a new dog home. You will be required to give your vet permission to release information to us, we also require two personal references as well that will be contacted. We have policy and procedure in place while screening homes. If a family refuses any step in the process they will not qualify for adoption. We are not currently doing adoptions across the boarder.***
