About Nola

Meet Nola! This loving almost eight-year-old American Pitbull Terrier mix currently resides in Kent, WA. Her soulful eyes and velvety black coat reflect a big heart ready for cuddles. Nola enjoys sniff-filled walks and soaking up the sun, but what she loves most is quality time with her favorite people or toys. She has a mellow morning demeanor, but as the day progresses, she craves adventure, whether it’s a game of tug in the yard or a long stroll to explore. A thoughtful and affectionate companion, Nola thrives on interaction and structure. She does best with older children or active adults who can match her spirit and love for affection. Crate and house-trained, Nola knows basic commands like spin and high five, especially if treats are involved! Though she is selectively social with other dogs and has had positive experiences at daycare, Nola needs clear boundaries as she can be reactive on walks and overly eager around them. With the right guidance, she can build confidence and learn better social manners. Nola also delights in watching the neighborhood from her window, offering friendly barks to keep you informed. Nola is searching for a home preferably with a fenced yard or an active family that shares her love for outdoor adventures. She needs someone who can provide attention, reassurance, and positive reinforcement to help her continue blossoming. Ready to share a grand adventure with Nola? What are you waiting for?
