Meet Nala

Nala is available to come on our next transport with Habersham County Animal Shelter on
Saturday, 1/17, but she needs a foster or adopter to secure her spot. Without a committed foster
or adopter, she will not be able to make the trip.

Nala’s story is one of second chances and quiet resilience. This girl came to the shelter through
no fault of her own when her previous owner could no longer care for her. Despite the upheaval,
Nala has remained loving, social, and eager to connect with both people and other dogs.

Nala is a confident, friendly, and affectionate dog with a wonderful balance of energy and
manners. She comes out ready to play and have fun, but she reads other dogs well and adjusts
her energy to match her playmates. Because of her excellent social skills, she now helps
evaluate new dogs’ temperaments at the shelter. She is gentle when taking treats, keeps a
clean kennel, and truly enjoys human affection, happily leaning in for pets and cuddles.

Her leash manners are improving every day. She may be a bit excited when first leaving the
kennel, but she settles quickly and walks very nicely once she’s moving. Nala would thrive in a
home that enjoys activity, playtime, and plenty of bonding time, followed by relaxing snuggles.

Age: 2 years old
Gender: Female
Weight: ~50 lbs
Breed: Boxer Mix
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Potty Trained: Yes
Crate Trained: Yes
Leash Manners: Improving
Good with Dogs: Yes
Good with Cats: No

Nala is more than her past. She is a loving, joyful dog ready for stability, companionship, and a
family to call her own. Could you be the foster or adopter who helps her secure her spot and
start her next chapter?

If you can foster or adopt Nala, please apply today.
