Nala is an 8-year-old, spayed female Shepherd/Retriever mix who weighs 52 pounds. She was found abandoned in Texas and has been with a loving foster family ever since. Nala has a tail that never stops wagging and a peaceful presence that makes her a joy to have around. She's a perfect balance of relaxed and fun, enjoying playful moments while still being naturally calm.
Ideal Home
Nala would do best in a home that appreciates her calm, loving nature. She would be a wonderful companion for a family with children of various ages, as she has shown patience and kindness with young kids, including a toddler. Nala also interacts beautifully with other dogs, especially larger breeds (50-60 lbs), and has a gentle, submissive play style. She would also thrive as a solo dog, soaking up all the love.
Ongoing Health
Nala is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations. No specific health conditions are noted in her description.
Training & Support
Nala is house-trained and crate-trained, resting comfortably in her crate for several hours during the day and overnight. She walks nicely on leash and is very manageable, though she may occasionally need a little encouragement to keep going. Nala has good manners around food and has not displayed toy guarding behaviors, but may prefer some space while eating, especially around unfamiliar dogs.
