D Litter Nala takes her time warming up, especially around new people. She tends to be more comfortable with women, but can be standoffish at first and will bark or growl when meeting unfamiliar faces. Her confidence is a work in progress, and she's learning to socialize at her own pace. Nala is potty pad trained—still relies on pads sometimes—and is doing well with house training overall. She thrives with one-on-one attention and prefers to be the only dog in the home, as she came from a multi-dog household but clearly wants to be someone's main companion. Loud homes and young, rambunctious kids aren't her style; she'd do best somewhere quiet, preferably with older children or adults only. Barking when left alone is a quirk, so shared-wall living isn't an ideal fit. Once Nala trusts you, she is loyal for life and happiest in your lap. She loves to play ball and is picking up basic retrieval skills. Nala is a small Bichon Frise and Maltese mix, about three years old, and has been fully spayed and vaccinated. She came from a family surrender, and while she has lived with dogs before and gets along, she seems happiest as an only pet. Grooming will be an ongoing need for her, as with all Bichon/Maltese mixes. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
