I'm ready to meet YOU!

Nala has been waiting for her forever home since July 2024. This smart, well-mannered girl comes pre-loaded with all the basics: sit, down, inside, place, and she even mastered the doggy door at her foster home on day one. While in foster care, she’s shown herself to be potty trained, non-destructive when left alone, and sleeps soundly through the night on her bed (or yours, if invited). Whether she’s chewing on her favorite toys or relaxing nearby while you work, Nala is an easy, joyful companion.

With medium energy and a playful, affectionate personality, Nala is the perfect mix of fun and snuggles. She loves learning new things, responds beautifully to training, and will absolutely charm you with her signature “sploot crawl.” Though she was shy with new people at first, she’s made steady, heartwarming progress and now greets visitors with growing confidence. She’s a bright, trainable dog who thrives when included in the daily rhythm of home life.

After waiting so long, she’s more than ready for someone who will adore her as much as she’ll adore them. If you’re looking for a loyal, easygoing, and delightfully goofy best friend, Nala just might be the perfect match you’ve been waiting for.

Sheltered Paws is providing this pup with a leash, collar, durable chew toy, snacks and a rebate certificate good for a training class. You can pick your trainer and Sheltered Paws will rebate back to you an amount up to but not to exceed $100.00.
