About Nala

Meet Nala! This gentle girl is learning that the world can be a friendlier place with time and encouragement. While she can be timid in new environments, she’s steadily gaining confidence, especially during her leash walks. Nala has started to engage playfully with the younger resident dog, which is a great sign of her blossoming personality. Ideally, she would thrive with a confident canine companion who can guide her and help her navigate new experiences. At home, Nala is already showing maturity. She is house trained and appreciates the calmness of her crate, using it as a cozy retreat when she needs a break. Nala is gentle around older children, making her a good fit for a quieter household with kids aged 12 and up. This 4-year-old mixed breed was rescued from a high-intake shelter and is looking for a patient family willing to provide her with clear guidance and positive experiences. With the right support, Nala has the potential to reveal a playful and sweet nature. Nala's adoption fee of $100 covers her up-to-date vaccinations, microchip, testing, dental care, and spay. She has not been tested with cats, but is great with other dogs and children. Ready to meet Nala? Apply today!
