She can be a little nervous around new noises, unfamiliar people, and other dogs, and may react by jumping or becoming overstimulated until redirected. She has met both small and large dogs, but she still needs slow, proper introductions with an experienced handler who understands dog body language and positive socialization techniques. Because of this, Nala would do best as the only dog in the home while she continues building confidence and learning appropriate social skills. Nala has shown that she does not do well with cats, so a cat-free home is required. She has not been tested with young children, but older dog-savvy kids would likely be best due to her high energy level and initial nervousness around new people.

In order to be considered for our dogs, we ask that you fill out an application. We do try this contact all applicants! There is an interview process as a first step, if this is successful we contact your personal references. We highly recommend that if you do not have a vet right now that you secure one prior to adopting - many vets are not taking on new clients! Once references are completed we will schedule a video tour/photos of your home as we are not doing home visits at this time due to COVID. If you are not selected for the dog you applied for we do offer match making and pre approval for future dogs.
