Story
Our Nala is a fun-loving girl who is always ready to play. She joined us a few weeks ago from a rural Noth Carolina Shelter where her owner left her to perish. Just five months old, Nala had become a rescue statistic.
Despite the chaotic shelter environment, Nala seemed to hold her own and avoid trouble. Shelter staff loved her, and we have to agree!
Nala is a medium sized dog at 22 pounds. We expect her to gain a few pounds as she matures. She has a graceful, leggy stance, and her short, flat coat has a beautiful tan and brown pattern.
Nala appears to be a double dose of Hound, most likely Beagle and Foxhound. There must be a smidge of something else in her DNA that put some starch in her ears. As a hound mix, Nala needs an active lifestyle and chance to explore nature each day.
Exercise and scent training are helpful in managing Hounds. Nala is an energetic girl with an outgoing, friendly personality. She greets everyone with great affection. She would make a great walking or hiking partner. Nala needs at least two daily leash walks, in addition to focused playtime each day.
Obedience training is essential to meeting the needs of an older puppy. Nala already knows some basic obedience commands and is on the way to earning her Canine Good Citizenship Certification. Adopters should be able to take her the rest of the way with ease.
Nala is best suited to an active home, with a dog savvy folks who have the time to raise a puppy. She is an active girl, who loves to be front and center with her folks rather than relegated to a backyard. Nala could easily join a multi-dog home.
Nala’s house manners are improving greatly, and now, she is mostly house trained and crate trained. Adopters should expect the occasional accident as she transitions to a new home. She is in excellent health, and fully vaccinated. Her full profile, with more pictures, is available on our Rescue website.
