About Nola

Meet Nola! This affectionate almost eight-year-old American Pitbull Terrier mix is currently residing in Kent, WA. With soulful eyes and a velvety black coat, her charm goes beyond just looks. Nola loves sniff-filled walks, sunbathing in the yard, and cozy cuddles with her favorite people or toys. She's laid-back in the mornings, enjoying a lazy start, but as the day goes on, she gets energized and ready for fun—whether it’s a game of tug or a long stroll to explore her surroundings. Nola thrives on interaction and structure, making her a wonderful companion for active adults or older children who can match her adventurous spirit. She's house-trained and crate-trained, and she's eager to impress with her tricks. Just ask her to spin or high five; she’ll do it with delight, especially for a treat! While she enjoys the company of other dogs, Nola is selectively social and has had minor skirmishes over food and toys. She's attended doggy daycare and lived with various dogs but needs clear boundaries and continued socialization to build her confidence. On walks, she can be a bit reactive when spotting other dogs, often pulling eagerly, so structured guidance will help her learn better manners. Nola also has a curious side, keeping watch from the window and letting you know when someone passes by with a friendly bark. She enjoys grooming, particularly gentle brushing while receiving compliments. This girl would blossom in a home with a fenced yard or an active family who loves outdoor adventures. Are you ready to give Nola the attention and reassurance she craves? Reach out to learn more about welcoming her into your life! Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
