My story

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

Take a minute to get to know Nala, a 7-year-old Heeler mix, weighing in at 40 lbs. Nala is such a sweet and easygoing pup! She enjoys gentle strolls and light exploring, but she’s not the type to dash around or engage in rough play. She’s really good with the other dogs in her foster home, even stepping in to correct the more energetic ones. Ideally, she’d love to hang out with dogs more in her age range. We’re not sure how she feels about cats, though.

Like many dogs adjusting to a new place, Nala had a few accidents when she first moved in. But don’t worry—she caught on quickly and now she’s doing great with her house training!

Now, Nala is a bit on the heavier side; in fact, she almost doubled her weight since being in the shelter last year. Weight control may be a lifelong challenge her new family will need to keep an eye on that throughout her life.

One of Nala’s favorite spots is sleeping right next to the bed on the floor. She also loves to curl up at my feet on the couch. You can tell she was really cherished in her previous home, which will make it easier for her to adjust to a new forever home where she is loved and appreciated.

Nala has been spayed, is current on vaccinations, has tested negative for heartworm and is microchipped.
