Meet Nala, your Sweet, Silly Little Shadow! This adorable Chihuahua mix, estimated to be born on February 12, 2023, and weighing around 20 lbs, is ready to trade her cardboard box days for a loving forever home. Nala spent weeks fending for herself on the streets, finding comfort in a makeshift shelter and always hoping for a kind soul to choose her. Now safe and flourishing in foster care, her true personality shines through. She’s playful, affectionate, and has a delightful goofy streak. Watch her toss toys in the air for a solo game of fetch – it’s pure joy! Nala is also a social butterfly, doing wonderfully with other dogs and people. She’s nearly perfect with potty training (95%), is fully crate trained, and already masters the "sit" command. She's working on "stay" and leash walking, though everything is so exciting to her that focus can be a challenge. Nala might be a little shy initially, but give her about 30 minutes to warm up, and she’ll become your most devoted shadow, showering you with love and affection. She’d thrive in a home that cherishes a fun, loving companion and is ready to help her continue building her confidence. Having another dog would be a bonus, but it’s not a requirement. Nala is the perfect blend of sweet, spunky, and snuggly, and she’s eager to bring immeasurable joy, laughter, and love to her lucky family.
