My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application Nylah the Truck Stop Momma HISTORY: She was the protector of the home her whole life, always keeping others safe. When her owner could not do the same for Nylah they found us. We had a plan, a volunteer who drives cross- country would meet the owner and drive Nylah east to her foster home. Nylah’s pups had a different plan; they were on their way. Time for Plan B; calls were made, volunteers grabbed blankets and headed to the truck stop where Nylah was giving birth in her owner’s car. And so began Nylah’s time with MTM. PERSONALITY: Meet Nylah A Sweet, Protective Mama ready for Her Forever Home. Nylah is a 19-month-old Boerboel mix with a heart as big as her smile. This loving girl recently raised 10 beautiful puppies and is not ready to find a family of her own. She’s spayed, healthy and full of love to give. Nylah is both protective and gentle, the kind of dog who will stand by your side no matter what. She loves deeply and connects quickly, making her easy to love in return. Whether she’s cuddled up next to you or keeping watch over her home, Nylah’s loyalty shines through in everything she does. After giving so much of herself as a devoted mama, Nylah deserves a forever home where she can be the one cherished and adored. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: CHEWING HER TOYS! She loooooooves her toys! Don’t lose her banana or at least have a backup. And she loves tug of war. She loves her walks to drop off and pick the kids up from school, plus all the attention from the littles along the way. If you’re sitting on the couch, don’t count her out. She’ll give you the saddest eyes until she’s invited to join. MEDICAL ISSUES: Allergic to chicken and fish oil. This is not an exaggeration; she cannot have either. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: Nylah needs someone with Mastiff experience and bonus if it’s Boerboel experience but not required. She needs a home where she feels safe and protected so she doesn’t have to always be the protector. Nylah loves to learn and enjoys training, now that she is kid free she needs continued training with an emphasis on proper introductions and social etiquette. She’s a social dog so would prefer to have someone home with her the majority of the day.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.
