My story

Meet Nesta! Beach-Lover & Budding Best Friend Nesta is a sweet and spirited puppy who's ready to find her forever home! 🐾 About Nesta: Nesta is a brave little explorer with a big personality. She's curious about the world but just a touch shy when meeting new faces—though she warms up quickly with kindness. She’s got a zest for life, a love for sand, and an unstoppable case of the zoomies! Nesta thrives in environments where she’s not alone for long—she absolutely adores the company of other dogs, cats, kids, or loving humans who are around most of the time. 🧸 Quirks & Fun Facts: • Nesta loves to dig—especially in the sand. A beach day would be her dream come true! • She’s a bone-chewer and a toy de-stuffer (fluff beware!). • She gets joyful zoomies and will keep you laughing with her goofy energy. 🏡 Nesta’s Ideal Home: Nesta would do best in a home with other pets or with people who are around frequently—being alone makes her anxious. She does wonderfully with kids and other animals and would thrive in a home with a fenced yard or regular access to safe outdoor spaces for play. 🎓 Training & Temperament: Nesta is doing well with potty and crate training (though she’ll let you know when she’s not happy about the crate!). She rarely barks otherwise. She’s a quick learner, already making progress with name recognition and recall. Leash skills and jumping manners are still in the works, but she’s eager to learn with consistent, patient guidance. ☀️ Activity Level: Nesta is a fun mix of energy and chill. She has high-energy bursts during playtime but is generally a relaxed pup who sleeps well through the night. If you're looking for a fun-loving, beach-ready best friend who just wants to be by your side, Nesta might be the perfect match. She’s ready to bring joy, laughter, and lots of cuddles into your life. 🏥 Health: Nesta is a healthy little pup who is receiving her rounds of puppy vaccines, deworming, and preventatives. She is microchipped and will be spayed when age-appropriate. 👉 Apply to adopt Nesta today and help her start her next great adventure!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Nesta, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
