Nala

My story

Meet Nala Nala is a big, beautiful, opinionated queen who arrived a little rough around the edges — and a little round everywhere else — and is blossoming into the happiest, bounciest version of herself. This girl has been through it. But you'd barely know it now, because something wonderful is happening: Nala is coming out of her shell. She bounces. She hops. She grabs a toy the moment you walk through the door and presents it to you like a hostess gift. Welcome. I got you something. Please pet me. At home, Nala is the picture of calm dignity — sprawled across whatever cushy surface she has claimed as her own, ignoring the cats with practiced elegance, occasionally visiting her crate just to sit and contemplate life. She doesn't need to be told where to go. She simply decides, and she is usually correct. She loves walks, and she's finding her stride — literally. She's picking up the pace, going longer distances, and we suspect that given a little time and a few pounds shed, this girl is going to surprise everyone. She's already surprising us. Just look at those ears. The sprawl. The hop. The way she plants a paw on your leg and looks at you like excuse me, I believe you forgot something. She is curious with strangers, thorough with new dog introductions (she will be doing the sniffing, thank you), and unbothered by cats, loud noises, and the general chaos of daily life. She is calm until she isn't, and when she isn't, it is delightful. Nala is looking for a soft place to land, a family to go on walks with, and someone who will lovingly help her work toward her ideal figure — while appreciating every glorious pound of her in the meantime. She's ready for her next chapter. Nala is 84lbs, 5 years old, spayed, UTD on vaccines, microchipped, fecal tested and hw negative. Loves dogs, cats and kiddos! Shes the perfect addition to any family! peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application
