Story
Meet Nala Belle! Fostered in Upstate NY
Meet Nala, the cutest, sassiest little mini you’d ever want to meet. Her foster calls her Nala Belle because she’s pretty enough to be a debutante — and she absolutely knows it.
Nala is a true Velcro girl. Wherever you go, she wants to go too… yes, even the bathroom. She loves being close to her people and will happily jump right into your lap for cuddles and kisses. If dogs on the furniture are not your thing, Nala may not be the best fit, because this little lady believes laps were made for her.
Nala also has a lot to say! She has a gravelly little voice that can sometimes be mistaken for growling, but don’t worry — she’s just sharing her opinions. She will “talk” to you for minutes at a time and have an entire conversation, complete with enthusiastic head tilts from side to side. She is expressive, funny, and full of personality.
This smart, active girl would love an active family who enjoys hiking, training, or even agility. She has some agility experience, is naturally motivated, and is FAST. A fenced yard would be best for Nala, as she may chase trucks from behind the fence and occasionally bark at passersby.
Nala is also a little quirky in the best way. She loves carrying things around, including soda bottles, and her foster mama has cleaned up more than one “collection” in the yard. Because she may grab socks or children’s toys, a home with young children is not recommended, even though she has lived with a child before.
Nala is somewhat shy and submissive at first, but she is generally good with other dogs and dog-savvy cats. She may give cats a playful little chase, but she has not shown aggression toward them.
Like many Aussies, Nala can jump up when she’s excited, so she will need continued guidance and training. She is likely not the best match for a first-time dog owner or first-time Aussie home, but she does not have any serious behavioral concerns.
Nala will need a family willing to go slowly and give her time to settle into a new environment. Once she feels safe, her adopter will be rewarded with an adorable, devoted, hilarious little companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart.
