Name: Nala Age: 4 Years Gender: Female Breed: Pit Bull Mix Weight: 43.6Ibs Nala is a medium-energy companion who is looking for a patient adopter to help her navigate the world at her own pace. While she can be nervous during initial handling and is currently a bit head-shy, she is a resilient soul who warms up relatively quickly once a trust-based connection is established. Because she has had very little prior socialization, she is easily startled by fast movements and would thrive with slow introductions and a gentle, consistent approach. Once she is comfortable, she offers lots of affection to humans, though she seems to have zero interest in the toys she has at this time. On the move, she is a dream to handle, as she walks very calmly and is exceptionally easy to manage on a leash. Nala already knows the "sit" command and is eager to expand her skills, though she can be a bit snatchy with treats while she works on putting on some much-needed weight. Although she is currently a bit too overwhelmed to focus on toys, she would benefit greatly from confidence-building exercises in a quiet environment. Regarding her social preferences, we do not yet know how she does with other dogs; however, we will provide an update on her compatibility once she has had the opportunity to enter our playgroup. With a little time and extra love, Nala is sure to blossom into a loyal and steady friend.
