Story
Some dogs have one ear up and one ear down. Nala has one ear permanently tuned into the fun and the other tuned into the cuddle schedule. Meet Nala!
At about two years old, we think Nala is a Lab/Husky mix (our best guess!), and she is every bit as adorable as she is sweet. She has the happiest little face, one delightfully floppy ear, one ear that stands straight up like a tiny satellite dish, and the most expressive puppy-dog eyes. Her warm honey-colored coat is accented by a crisp white blaze down her nose, little white socks, and the cutest smile that seems to say, "What are we doing next? Can I come too?" It's impossible not to smile back at her.

Nala is the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart. She has such a gentle, loving soul and a soft, easygoing personality that makes everyone around her feel instantly comfortable. She's happiest simply being with her people, whether that's joining you for a walk, riding shotgun in the car, or curling up nearby after a fun day together.
She's growing up in a loving foster home with other dog friends, and she's doing wonderfully. Nala loves having canine companions and has beautiful manners with other dogs. She enjoys a good game of chase, playing with her toys, and hanging out with her foster siblings, but she's just as happy relaxing once the fun is over.
Speaking of toys... Nala is a big fan! Chew toys are her favorite, and she loves carrying them around while happily entertaining herself. She's playful without being over-the-top, making her the perfect mix of fun and relaxed.
Nala has also met children and has been incredibly sweet with them. One of her favorite memories was meeting a little girl who made her a trail of Goldfish crackers. Nala thought that was the greatest idea anyone had ever come up with and happily followed along, earning plenty of pets and giggles along the way. She has such a gentle heart and loves sharing life with her people, big and small.
She also impressed us with a kitty friend! Nala was cautious but curious, giving the cat plenty of space and showing respectful, calm behavior. We'd recommend slow introductions in a new home, but she showed all the signs of being a thoughtful little roommate.
Nala is already potty trained with a doggy door, enjoys daily walks, rides beautifully in the car, and is working hard on polishing her leash skills. She loves exploring the world one sniff at a time and is always happy to join you for whatever adventure is next.
One thing to know about Nala is that she likes to take a moment to get to know new people before diving into the friendship. She isn't fearful—she simply likes a proper introduction. Give her a few minutes, a kind voice, and maybe a couple of gentle pets, and you'll quickly discover the affectionate, goofy, loyal girl hiding behind those sweet eyes.
Whether you live in a house , apartment, or townhome, Nala is the kind of companion who simply wants to share life with her people. She's playful, gentle, affectionate, and wonderfully adaptable.
If you're looking for a best friend with the cutest mismatched ears, a heart full of love, and a personality that's equal parts adventure buddy and cuddle bug, Nala is ready to become your new favorite hello. She may have one ear up and one ear down, but her heart is 100% all in.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
