Meet Nala – The Sweetheart with Sass, Smarts, and a Whole Lot of Chill
Looking for a best friend who’s equal parts cuddle bug, porch guardian, and goofball philosopher? Meet Nala, a gentle, silly, and wonderfully curious girl who just wants a home to call her own.
Personality
Nala is all heart. She’s sweet as can be, loves to cuddle, and greets each day with a wag, a smile, and sometimes a bark at the delivery guy (just doing her job, thank you). She’s a laid-back gal who enjoys just being part of the world around her. She’s content with a few short walks or a little playtime but is mostly happy to snooze, explore, and lounge like the queen she is. She’s independent but will absolutely seek out affection when she wants it - then you’re the lucky one.
Companionship
Nala is a social butterfly with excellent manners:
- Dog-friendly
- Kid-friendly – she met neighborhood kids and handled their excitement with calm grace
- People-friendly – loves being included, calm with new faces
- Cats – not yet tested, but she’s shown easy-going behavior around others
Training & Manners
This girl knows her stuff:
- Housebroken
- Crate trained
- Leash trained
- Knows basic commands like “sit,” “lay down,” “stay” (ish), “potty,” “food,” and “go”
- Responds beautifully to correction—just a simple, “Nala, no” usually does the trick
- ot super food- or praise-motivated, but she’s learning and making progress
Nala thrives in a calm, loving home that follows a steady routine. She’s currently living with two adults and another dog and fits in seamlessly. She’d do well in a variety of homes - from a relaxed family setting to a chill solo human with a love for walks and weekend lounging.
Ideal Home
A yard would be a dream, but daily walks will make her just as happy. She enjoys fresh air and being outside, where she can observe, sniff, and feel part of the world.
Included Veterinary Care
- Health certificate from a licensed veterinarian
- Up to date on vaccinations
- Spayed
- Microchipped
- Heartworm preventative
- Flea and tick preventative
- Deworming/parasite treatments
Nala is the kind of dog who makes a house feel like home. She’s sweet, silly, calm, and incredibly easy to love. Could she be the missing piece in your family?
