My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Natalia is a super fun, energetic, and affectionate 4-year-old (possibly younger) pup weighing about 41 pounds. She’s playful, smart, and full of life—always ready for a good time, especially if toys are involved! Natalia loves her toys and is a powerful chewer, so sturdy ones are best. She’ll happily play fetch or entertain herself, as long as she has something appropriate to chew on.

This girl is easy to handle, coming out of her kennel with enthusiasm—offering her a toy first helps channel that excitement. On leash, she’s a great walker with only mild pulling when something catches her attention. Natalia rides well in the car, calmly lying down once she’s settled, though she’ll need to be restrained because she’s eager to hop out as soon as the door opens. She’s also wonderful for baths and enjoys a little pampering.

Natalia is treat-motivated, takes them gently, and is working on mastering “sit.” She’s wiggly and full of tail wags when meeting both people and dogs, showing friendly, loose body language all around. While she can get mouthy or jump up when excited, she redirects easily with guidance. She’s listed as best suited for a home with no small children and an experienced owner simply because she still has some puppy-like habits, such as occasionally grabbing clothes or picking up things around the house.

With consistency, training, and plenty of love, Natalia will blossom into a well-mannered and devoted companion. She’s dog-friendly and may even enjoy having another energetic canine friend to play with. Natalia’s joyful spirit and affectionate personality make her an incredible dog ready for an active, loving home.

As always, we strongly recommend that resident dogs meet any new potential canine family members. If bringing a resident dog for a dog to dog test, please bring proof of Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines.

To meet your new pet, come to Guilford County Animal Services between 12 and 4 any day except Tuesday!
