Nala

Nala is an approximate 15-week-old, 25 lb., female, possible Black Mouth Cur/Lab mix puppy. She and her 3 siblings came from Oklahoma recently where they endured some instability the first several weeks of their life. Their owner did not take steps to secure the puppies on the property and after they began to wander out of the yard, they were dumped in different parts of town. Thankfully some kind people were eventually able to round up all 5 puppies in the litter, along with their momma, and get them into a secure, temporary foster home while they waited for transport to Hope Animal Rescue of Iowa. She is scheduled for her spay surgery and rabies vaccination on Tuesday, November 3. Nala and her siblings are sweet puppies with a lot of potential. They just need a family that can be patient with them as they learn how to trust people fully and help them gain experience with all the new things life has to offer them.

Nala is the kind of puppy who steals your heart quietly — one shy glance at a time. She's a little reserved when you first meet her, preferring to watch the world from a safe spot before deciding you're trustworthy. But it doesn't take long: a gentle voice, a soft toy, and suddenly she's bouncing around with her tail wagging a mile a minute. Playful to her core, Nala loves a good game of fetch, a squeaky toy, and any adventure that ends with cuddles. She's looking for a patient, loving home where she can blossom at her own pace — and reward you with endless affection once she does. She is working on house training since her life has been spent living outdoors until she came into our rescue. Nala is currently living with her brother Simba and foster dogs and a cat.

Siblings: Daisy (F), Nala (F), Boone (M) Simba (M)
