About Nala

Nala is a lovely female Catahoula mix, almost four years old, looking for a new home. Weighing in at 59 lbs, she is striking both in looks and personality. Nala's affectionate nature shines through; she's well-mannered and enjoys the company of both people and dogs. However, she doesn’t get along with cats, so a feline-free home would be ideal. Given her athleticism, Nala thrives in an environment that provides regular exercise. For her well-being, we recommend a home without small children or elderly residents. Nala needs a canine companion; her previous owner had to surrender her due to work commitments, which caused her some separation anxiety. Being around other dogs helps soothe her. Currently fostered in Carmel, Nala's adoption fee is waived. If you have a dog looking for an active friend, she might just be the perfect match! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
