About Nola

Your new best friend is just one click away. Nola is the sweetest girl, always ready to share her affection and gentle spirit with everyone she meets. Her playful side shines when she's running around her foster's backyard or enjoying her favorite toys. Nola has a special fondness for grilled chicken and impresses with her knowledge of basic commands like sit, go, and stay. She's independent yet loving, showering you with kisses and content to relax on her own when she needs some downtime. Nola enjoyed attending DogLando Camp this summer, where she learned excellent leash manners, found her love for swimming, and became comfortable around children. Social and easygoing, she gets along wonderfully with other dogs and finds joy in simple pleasures, like a nap in her crate. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
