Nola

My story

Meet Nola — your future best friend and full-time ray of sunshine! At just 7 months old and around 45 lbs, Nola is a happy, playful mixed-breed pup who is finally getting her chance to just be a puppy. And trust me—she’s making up for lost time in the best way possible. Nola’s journey hasn’t been easy. She came into rescue with a serious injury that required not one, but two orthopedic surgeries (a femoral head osteotomy and fracture repair). She spent four long months healing, resting, and patiently waiting for her moment to run and play again. And now? She’s back on her feet and ready to live life to the fullest. This girl is pure joy. She loves her people deeply and greets the world with a wagging tail and an eager heart. Whether it’s going for walks, playing with her dog friends, or learning new things (she’s very smart and food-motivated!), Nola throws herself into everything with enthusiasm. The best part? She gets along beautifully with dogs, cats, and kids—making her a wonderful fit for so many types of homes. She’s doing great with going potty outside and is picking up on routines quickly. With a little continued guidance, she’s going to grow into an incredible companion. Because of her past injuries, Nola may develop some arthritis in her leg as she gets older. It’s something to be aware of, but it certainly doesn’t slow her down right now—she’s active, happy, and loving every minute of her second chance. Nola is looking for a family who will cherish her, play with her, and give her all the love she missed out on early in life. In return, she’ll give you loyalty, laughter, and a whole lot of tail wags. If you’re ready for a resilient, joyful pup who will remind you every day how sweet life can be—Nola is your girl!
