About Nola’s Breed Mix:
German Shepherd/Husky mixes are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and athleticism. They tend to be very people-oriented, enjoy having a purpose, and thrive with both mental and physical stimulation. Nola reflects the best of both breeds—smart and capable, yet affectionate, gentle, and deeply connected to her people.
Nola’s Story & Personality:
Nola is a loving, sensitive girl who bonds closely with her people. While she can be a little shy at first, she warms up quickly with gentle reassurance and kind guidance. Once she feels safe, her affectionate personality truly shines—she loves to be loved on, seeks closeness, and enjoys both playtime and downtime.
She’s mostly leash trained and enjoys going on walks, but she also appreciates a cozy couch session afterward. Nola is very smart and eager to learn, making her a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys interacting and engaging with their dog.
Because she can jump a 4-foot fence, a secure 5-foot or taller fenced yard is important so she can safely run, explore, and burn off energy. With the right setup, Nola will thrive as a happy, balanced companion.
Nola’s Ideal Home:
A home with a secure fenced yard (5 ft or taller) where she can safely run
A family or individual who enjoys both walks and relaxed cuddle time
Someone patient and reassuring who will help her continue building confidence
A home that values affection, connection, and gentle guidance
Other pets are welcome—she does well with dogs and cats
Ready to Give Nola the Love She Deserves?
Nola is a beautiful blend of intelligence, gentleness, and affection. With the right home and a little reassurance, she will be a devoted, loving companion who brings both joy and comfort to your life.
