About Nola

Meet Nola! This affectionate nearly eight-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix is currently in Amherst, MA. With soulful eyes and a velvety black coat, her big heart matches her love for cuddles. Nola thrives on sniff-filled walks, sunbathing in the yard, and quality time with her favorite humans or toys. Mornings find her mellow and lounging, but as the day progresses, she’s ready for tug games or long strolls, eager to explore the world around her. As a thoughtful companion, Nola flourishes with interaction and structure. She does best in homes with older children or active adults who can keep up with her spirited personality. Crate trained and house trained, she knows some tricks too, especially when treats are involved! Nola is selective with other dogs. Though she’s partaken in doggy daycare and cohabitated with both male and female dogs, she experiences minor squabbles over food or toys. With guidance and positive socialization, she can develop better manners. On walks, her excitement can lead to pulling when she spots other dogs. Curious and alert, she keeps watch from her window, barking to inform her humans about passersby. Grooming is a treat for her as well; she enjoys a gentle brush and a bit of sweet talk. Nola would thrive in a home with a fenced yard or an active family that loves outdoor adventures. She seeks someone to provide the attention and encouragement she needs to build her confidence.
