Meet Nala

Meet Nala! Quiet Senior Soul Looking for a Patient Heart Nala was abandoned by the only family she had ever known after 10 years, she struggled to adjust to a new baby in the home. When we first met Nala, it was heartbreaking. She was confused, scared, and shutting down, not understanding why the people she trusted had left her behind. Since coming into our care, Nala has been given the time and patience she needed to decompress. While she has made progress, learning to trust again has been a slow journey for her. The world feels a little safer now, but she still needs someone special who understands that trust takes time. Nala is looking for a quiet, calm home with a patient adopter who is willing to move at her pace, earn her trust, and give her the safe and loving environment she deserves. With kindness, consistency, and love, Nala has the potential to blossom into a deeply loyal companion. If you have the heart and patience for a dog who just needs someone to believe in her again, Nala may be waiting for you. ❤️
