About Nola

Nola is a 7-year-old female Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler mix with a striking blue and cream coat and a classic medium build. She’s full of curiosity and loves people, especially children—she really gets along well with kids. Nola does fine with other dogs and enjoys their company, but she doesn’t get along with cats and will need a cat-free home. She isn’t house trained yet, so her adopter should be prepared for some patience and guidance as she learns. With her smarts and affectionate personality, though, she picks up routines quickly and sticks close to those she trusts. By the way, Nola’s a Leo—she’ll keep life entertaining and always aims to be the star of the show. Vaccinations are up to date, and she’s spayed. You’ll need to meet her in person before applying, and the Humane Society asks that everyone in your household (and any other dogs you have) come along as well. Give this loyal pup a chance to settle in with your pack. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
