moment and chase a toy the next.
Affectionate to her core, Nala is a true snuggle bug who loves being held, getting scratches, and giving plenty of puppy kisses. She may start off a little shy in new situations, but it doesn’t take long for her sweet and playful personality to shine through. Once she feels comfortable, she’s full of tail wags, curiosity, and happy energy.
Nala is just beginning her training journey. She’s doing well learning her potty routine with frequent outdoor breaks and has started exploring her crate as a cozy place to nap. Like many puppies, she’ll need continued guidance, patience, and consistency as she grows. She thrives on companionship and would do best in a home where she isn’t left alone for long periods, as she truly loves being around her people (and other furry friends!).
Nala has been more timid when meeting other dogs, but warmed up within a day or two. She has not shown much interest in cats. With children, she's very excited but needs guidance to not be mouthy.
She has a funny habit of somehow getting her entire head wet every time she drinks water! She enjoys squeaky toys, is starting to love chasing balls, and has that perfect puppy rhythm of play hard, snuggle close, and nap deeply. As she grows, she will likely have high energy as a shepherd, so plenty of activities in a fenced yard, frequent walks, or hikes will keep her happy.
Nala is ready to find a forever home filled with love, activity, and plenty of cuddle time. If you’re looking for lots of kisses, Nala is ready to meet you!
