Nefi
This sweet, affectionate girl is all about calm, cosy living. She’s happiest in a peaceful home where she can relax, feel safe, and soak up all the love you have to give. No busy streets or noisy chaos for Nefi - just quiet moments, soft blankets, and lots of snuggles. Once she trusts you, she’ll lean right in for cuddles and gently nudge your hand if you dare to stop!
Nefi’s perfect match is a patient, experienced adult-only home. She’d love a secure garden for off-lead zoomies and continued house training, but she’ll need calm surroundings and a comfy “safe spot” for when things get a bit much. While she can be shy around new people (especially men), she warms up beautifully with time, kindness, and treats. She’s working hard on her confidence and reactivity, so quiet walks and steady routines are key - and yes, she’ll need to stay on lead.
Nefi is truly a hidden gem - gentle, loving, and ready to blossom in the right home. Give her patience, safety, and cuddles, and she’ll give you a lifetime of loyalty and love.
