NALA - AMERICAN BULLDOG / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: American Bulldog / Mixed (medium coat). Nala is a playful, curious puppy who is growing in confidence every day. When she first arrived, she was quite timid, but she has already made wonderful progress and continues to come out of her shell more and more. She’s an energetic girl who loves her toys and enjoys engaging with people. Nala has also done well meeting other dogs on walks and shows positive social interest. However, due to her medical history, she should not be placed in a home with another puppy or have close interaction with young dogs. Nala would thrive in an active home, ideally with someone who can spend time with her during the day as she continues to learn and develop. Like most puppies, she is still working on her manners. She can become a bit mouthy when overstimulated during play, so she will benefit from consistent guidance, structure, and ongoing training. Because of this, any interactions with young children should be supervised while she learns appropriate play behavior. She has made impressive strides with her leash confidence, going from very hesitant to now getting excited for her walks. After she’s had her exercise and playtime, Nala is incredibly affectionate and loves to cuddle and soak up attention. Nala is very food-motivated, which makes training both effective and a great bonding opportunity. She sleeps well through the night (complete with adorable snoring!) and greets each morning with full-body wiggles and excitement for the day ahead. Nala was very ill and required several days of intensive hospitalization for severe pneumonia and malnutrition when she first came in. She has since recovered well, but she is herpesvirus positive. This means the virus can remain latent long-term and may occasionally present as respiratory symptoms (such as coughing, sneezing, or nasal discharge) or gastrointestinal upset. Due to this, her adopter should: - Avoid placing her with other puppies or allowing close contact with them - Be aware of potential flare-ups and monitor for symptoms - Follow up with their own veterinarian regarding her medical history, including her previous pneumonia and condition on intake Nala is a wonderful puppy with so much potential. With a patient, attentive, and loving home, she will grow into an incredible companion.
