🌟 Meet Nala - a loving furball who has been eagerly awaiting her forever home since July 2024! This delightful girl is not just charming; she comes pre-loaded with her essential life skills! 🎓 Nala has mastered commands like 'sit,' 'down,' and 'place,' and she’s even conquered the doggy door on the very first day at her foster home—how impressive is that? 🙌 In her foster care, Nala has shown herself to be potty trained, not destructive when left alone, and she peacefully snuggles in her bed all night long (or she might just join you if you invite her!). Whether she’s happily chewing on her beloved toys or relaxing by your side while you work, Nala is the definition of a joyful companion. With a perfect balance of medium energy, this affectionate girl is the ideal mix of fun and cuddles. She absolutely adores learning new things and responds beautifully to further training. Her signature move is the adorable "sploot crawl" that will melt your heart! 💖 While she was a bit shy with newcomers at first, she has made tremendous strides, now greeting visitors with a growing confidence that’s truly heartwarming. Nala is a bright and trainable dog who thrives when included in the daily rhythm of home life. An important note for potential adopters: Nala would thrive best as the only pet in an adult-only (18+) home, so no kids or frequent child visitors, though the right family may be considered on a case-by-case basis. After her long wait, Nala is more than ready for someone who will cherish her as much as she will cherish them. If you're on the hunt for a loyal, easygoing, and wonderfully goofy best friend, Nala just might be the match you've been dreaming of! And here’s some icing on the cake! 🎂 Sheltered Paws is showering Nala with a leash, collar, a durable chew toy, yummy treats, and a rebate certificate for a training class, helping new adopters choose their trainer too! All adoptable pets at Sheltered Paws are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to leap into your heart right away! Come on down to our Northside shelters any day from 1–6 p.m. to meet this sweetheart! To adopt Nala, be sure to apply through the Buddy App! Let’s get this love story started! 🥰
