DONATIONS NEEDED FOR

NINA'S

EMERGENCY AURAL HEMOTOMA SURGERY

TOTAL SURGERY BILL =$180

THANK YOU TO AMY GOEPFERT OF CLEVELAND OHIO

FOR HER DONATION WHICH COVERED NINA'S SURGERY BILL

5-17-06

Nina required surgery today for a hemotoma in her right ear.

Nina has had a reoccuring ear infections in her right ear since her arrival
but the infection has always cleared

up with antibiotic ointments and antibiotic treatment

Last night Nina's right ear filled with blood between the tissues of her ear
flap requiring surgery

to repair the hemotoma

Nina came through the surgery fine and was busy investigating the kitties
on her way out of the Vet's office this evening

Nina will require a lot of medications and special care for the next 3 weeks
until her sutures are removed

_____________________________________________

UPDATE 6/7/06

Nina's sutures were removed today and her ear is healing nicely

_________________________________________________

UPDATE 7/6/06

Nina's ear has healed perfectly. Nina has been going for a ride daily in the
CODA van

and Nina is now able to ride in the van without getting car sick or stressed
out.

Nina has also been going jogging daily with her foster dad and loves her daily
jog

and Nina jogs so perfectly on her leash and is so well behaved during her
outings

Nina has decided she really likes Shirley and is being very gentle and sweet
with Shirley

Nina is pretty much over all her dog aggression issues except for her dislike
of GIANT dogs.

(Specifically the Great Danes in her foster home)

Nina plays with Sparky and Bandit and Blake without any problems

Nina still likes to chase the kitties but will not hurt them and if she catches
up with one she will pause

to give the cat a chance to escape:)
_____________________________________________

Nina is a Catahoula Leopard Dog Mix

Our best guess is Nina is mixed with German Shepherd

She is fully sighted and hears fine.

Nina was saved from a kill shelter in Princeton WV and arrived at CODA Dog
Rescue on July 7th 2004.

She was on owner surrender so was facing immediate death at the shelter in
WV.

Her previous owner was deployed overseas to Iraq

Nina was a spoiled only pet in her previous home

Kim Kleppel in NY paid for Nina's Shelter fee's and paid a driver to get
Nina safely to CODA

Dog Rescue in Cleveland to save Nina's life.

Nina would like to thank Kim for saving her from being gassed to death in
the WV kill shelter

Nina is a wonderful dog that walks perfectly on a leash, and she loves to
go for walks.

Nina is fine when meeting other dogs when on a leash but is quite over rambunctious
when allowed off leash

with other dogs as she has a high energy catahoula style of play

Nina knows many verbal commands such as

Sit, Lay, Stay, Give Me Paw

Nina is very intelligent and learns very easily.

Nina is very sweet and gentle in nature and has wonderful watch dog tendencies.


She always lets us know if someone is near the fence line or near the property
lines.

 

Nina is scared to ride in cars because Nina was involved in a rollover car
accident with her foster dad

coming home from the park during the summer of 2004

Nina suffered only minor cuts and scrapes in the accident but was thrown from
the car and was quite tramatized by

the experience.

We are working on trying to help get Nina over her fear of cars since the
accident but Nina has consistently vomited

anytime she rides in a car since the accident.

Nina would make a wonderful agility dog as she has phenominal balance and
jumping ability

runs like lightening and is very smart and learns new things quite easily.

Nina has made major improvements in her social skills with other dogs. She
did not get along well with the other dogs when she first came into rescue.
Nina was an only pet in her previous home per her surrender paperwork.

Nina took a liking to Belvedere our little Blind Labrador puppy and truly
loved to play with Belvedere until he found

his perfect home. Nina now enjoys playing with the younger puppies here in
rescue and with Blake our Deaf Bull Terrier

Nina is intimidated by the Great Danes in her foster home and will show defensive
aggression when they are near her.

We really believe Nina just never was allowed to play with other dogs before
coming into rescue.

 

Nina is the perfect dog for someone who has no other animals in the home

Nina is WONDERFUL with children and any humans she's ever met!

Nina is very eager to please her caretakers and loves one on one attention
and petting.

Nina loves to be brushed.

Nina would also do well in a home with someone who likes to run and is looking
for a running companion

Nina will definately not slow you down on your daily runs and will actually
help to motivate you to keep on running:)

Nina puts the 'Cat' in 'Catahoula' as she has the balance
and agility of a feline.

Nina can clear our four foot garden blockade gate with ease!

( We have six foot stockade fencing in our play areas)

She does well when crated so would be fine being crated while you work but
she is also house broken

and totally non destructive if left alone unattended

Nina weighed in at 39 lbs at her vet exam the other day.

 

Nina has never had an accident in her crate and is housebroken.

She will cry if crated to let you know when she needs to go out!

If you are interested in adopting Nina please fill out an application here

Nina's adoption fee is $175.00

Nina needs to be on leash anytime she's outdoors even if your yard is fenced

Nina can easily climb over a six foot stockade fence so needs to either be
leashed walked

or tethered when outdoors.

If tethered she should be protected within a secure fenced area to prevent
other dogs or cats

from getting in Nina's play area.

Nina would be fine in a home with children.

DEFINATELY NO CATS

Nina does well with puppies especially male puppies
