Nala is a beautiful girl with a sturdy, athletic build and a short, smooth coat in a warm fawn tone, accented by a striking black mask and soulful, expressive eyes. Her look is just as striking as her personality.

She enjoys spending time with other dogs and does well in playgroup settings. Nala can be a little shy when meeting new people, but she just needs a moment to get comfortable. You’ll know she’s ready when her tail starts wagging and she comes over to say hello on her own terms.

As she settles in, Nala’s fun, youthful personality begins to shine. She can show some playful, puppy-like behaviors and enjoys engaging with her surroundings, bringing a nice balance of sweetness and energy to her days. She also walks well on leash, making her a great companion for daily outings.
Nala would love a home that gives her a little time to adjust and then enjoys her playful side as it comes out. She’s a wonderful mix of thoughtful and fun.

If you’re looking for a dog who will grow into your life and keep things both heartwarming and lively, Nala could be a great match. Reach out to learn more about welcoming her into your home as a foster or adopter.

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
