My story

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

Nala is a 4-year-old Alaskan Husky who is currently in foster care.
Nala came to AWD in very poor condition, but you’d never guess it from her gentle spirit. Though she is blind and arrived extremely thin, Nala greets the world with calm curiosity and quiet confidence. She loves leisurely walks, taking her time to sniff around the play yard, and she’s happiest when there’s a treat involved (which she adores).
This lovely girl has a soft, serene disposition and shows affection in the sweetest ways—like gently nudging your hand to remind you she’s there, especially if ear scratches are involved (her favorite!). Her coat is surprisingly beautiful and well-kept, a little reminder of just how resilient she is.
While Nala is usually quiet and easygoing, mealtime reveals her true husky nature—she’ll let out an enthusiastic howl if dinner is even a minute late! Despite cataracts Nala doesn’t let limited vision slow her down. She’s adventurous, eager to explore new spaces, and once she learns a layout, she can confidently navigate a home, stairs included.
Nala is proof that strength doesn’t have to be loud. She’s gentle, loving, and endlessly brave—a special girl ready to share her quiet magic with a patient, kind family.
If you`d like to meet Nala email our foster team at AWDFoster@cabq.gov
All of her adoption fees are waived.
