About Nala

Meet Nala, a lovely lady of about 8 years who is ready to embrace her golden years outside the shelter. She has a shorter mixed-colored coat and a small frame, seeking a warm place to settle down and live her best life. Although Nala can appear a bit anxious and uncertain, she’s starting to warm up to the volunteers who take her for walks. When you invite her to come close, she’s discovered that staying on all fours will earn her some love. Nala enjoys leash walks and yard time, where her playful and feisty spirit shines through. She loves nothing more than a bit of attention and some quality butt scratches. While Nala passed her initial dog assessment, she may prefer calmer canine companions or to be the only spoiled dog in the home as she ages. Any resident dog should meet her before adoption. Nala has shown signs of food guarding, likely due to the shelter environment, but this can improve in a quieter home. We recommend a space that offers patience and calmness, ideally with older, respectful children, to help Nala feel secure. Already spayed, she is more than ready to start her next adventure in a loving home.
