About Nola

Meet Nola! This affectionate almost eight-year-old American Pitbull Terrier mix is currently in Kent, WA. With her soulful eyes and velvety black coat, she’s ready to share endless cuddles and companionship. Nola enjoys sniff-filled walks, sunbathing in the yard, and quality time with her favorite people or toys. Mornings find her mellow and happy to lounge, while as the day rolls on, her playful spirit surfaces. Whether it’s tug-of-war in the yard or strolling through the neighborhood taking in all the scents, she’s always up for some fun! She thrives on structure and interaction, best suited to older children or active adults who can keep up with her adventurous nature. Nola is crate trained, house-trained, and shows off her training with spins and high-fives, especially when treats are involved! Though she's friendly with dogs, she is selectively social and has shown minor altercations that underline the need for clear boundaries and positive socialization. Leash walks can be a bit exciting, with her tail wagging as she takes in her surroundings, so structured guidance will help her polish her social manners. Nola loves to watch the neighborhood from the window, barking to keep you informed of any passersby. Grooming is a breeze; she enjoys the attention! A home with a fenced yard or an active family will be ideal for her. Nola seeks someone who can provide reassurance and positive reinforcement as she builds confidence. Are you ready for an adventure together? If you're interested in giving Nola a loving home, please email adopt@joyfulpets.com for more information. She is open to long-distance adoption, as love knows no bounds.
