About Nola

Meet Nola! Nola is a loving almost eight-year-old American Pitbull Terrier mix living in Kent, WA. With soulful eyes and a velvety black coat, her big heart matches her knack for cuddles. This girl knows what she loves: sniff-filled walks, sunbathing in the yard, and cozying up with her favorite people or toys. Mornings find her mellow and content, but come afternoon, she’s all about playtime—a game of tug or a long stroll to take in the day’s scents is her idea of fun. Nola thrives on interaction and structure, making her an ideal companion for older children or active adults who can match her spirit. She's crate trained and house trained, knowing some fun tricks like spin and high-five, especially when treats are involved! Nola is selectively social with other dogs; she has had positive experiences at doggy daycare but needs clear boundaries due to a few minor altercations around food or toys. With the right guidance, she can improve her social skills. On walks, she can be reactive when encountering other dogs, often pulling with excitement. Finally, Nola is your curious neighborhood-watch type, loving to keep tabs on the world from her window perch. She enjoys gentle grooming and sweet talk. A fenced yard or an active family that loves outdoor adventures would be perfect for her. If you're ready to start your next great adventure with Nola and think you can offer her a loving home, feel free to reach out to Joyful Pets. This could be the start of something wonderful!
