Meet Nala, a 3-year-old mixed breed girl weighing 60 pounds. She’s a little shy around people, but anyone who gives her the time to warm up will soon win her heart. Her absolute favorite thing in the world is a comfy bed, so she spends most of her day lounging on an orthopedic bed with lots of soft blankies and stuffed animals to keep her company. While she is still overcoming some of her fearfulness, Nala is overall a relaxed and low-maintenance dog; even at 3 years old, she acts like an old lady already. Nala would love to go to a home with a friendly pup about her size who loves cuddling as much as she does. She’d also prefer a fenced-in yard so she can do her business without leaving the comfort of her domain. If you are interested in adopting Nala, you can actually take her on a test drive; she is eligible for a trial adoption, meaning we provide you with everything Nala needs for a few weeks until she’s settled into your home. If it doesn’t work out, that’s totally ok; Nala will be happy to get a break from the shelter environment.
