About Nyla

Nyla is a sweet mixed breed girl, around 2-3 years old and weighing about 60 pounds. She enjoys walks but is quite strong and has a strong prey drive, particularly for squirrels, so she needs an owner who can manage her energy or a home with a spacious backyard where she can roam freely. She thrives on human companionship and requires a home without other dogs to keep her happy. Up to date on vaccinations and already spayed, Nyla adores head pets and ear scratches. Cuddling next to her owner on a comfy couch for a nap would be her dream. This loving girl just wants to be cherished and given a forever home. If you're ready to welcome Nyla into your family, please reach out today!
