About Nala

Nala is a remarkable young dog who came to us with a broken foreleg, but her spirit remains unbroken. After a successful surgery on July 3rd, she's now resting and recovering, on crate rest for the next few weeks. This gentle soul is currently being fostered in a home with a five-year-old child and another dog, showcasing her calm demeanor and friendly nature. Her foster mom has shared that Nala is a favorite in their home. She immediately bonded with the family and has adapted beautifully to her surroundings. Nala is not only well-mannered and potty trained, but she’s also a cuddle bug who loves her space in a crate or playpen. She interacts gently with her foster dog, demonstrating a great understanding of her current limitations with her leg. Everyone who meets her falls in love, and she would make an excellent addition to a loving family. Once she’s fully healed and spayed, Nala will be ready for her forever home.
