00:00There she is. In the dirt. Hey. It's nice and warm there darling. That's what barley dogs do, to keep warm.
00:09She was living in the street and was clearly suffering from a skin disease.
00:15So we're going to take you to the doctor.
00:17I noticed her on the street and that her skin was getting progressively worse, so I had to make the decision to step in.
00:26She was living with her family. I asked them if they needed medical treatment and they decided to surrender her on the spot.
00:33Okay Nona, ready for your first wash. I think it's probably the first bath you've ever had.
00:38When I first picked her up she just looked at me and was just wondering what is going on.
00:41She is hating it.
00:43The first thing we do is check out their skin.
00:45Okay, she's had a wash. I've had a wash because I'm all wet. You are very traumatic.
00:50And then we started her healing journey naturally.
00:54She was such a quirky little dog. She loved to sleep in random positions.
01:02I had Nona in foster care with me in my home for about three months.
01:05She had lots of sunshine, a lot of socialisation with my dogs.
01:09Nona, your nose is going to get you into trouble. Nona!
01:13She became a real little character.
01:15Ah, you're so clever.
01:20Her skin started to heal and the fur started to grow.
01:24Sit, it's just for you.
01:29Nona, stop opening the door.
01:31We have sliding doors which we thought were a great idea and she has managed to open every single door.
01:42We wanted to set up a surprise for her.
01:46So I hid in the toy room and I knew that she'd open the door.
01:55And I was sitting there with all her brand new toys and she went straight for the toys.
01:59She's so curious.
02:12The perfect family for Nona would definitely be people that would just let Nona be Nona.
02:17She's highly trainable. She's incredibly food motivated.
02:20So she's not always naughty. She can definitely be trained.
02:23She listens. She's on recall.
02:26Someone that would love her and enjoy her antics and enjoy her sense of humour.
02:33She loves other dogs. She loves playing.
02:39She's really an easy going dog.
02:55Good girl.
02:58Okay, lights off.
