My story

Basics1.Housetrained? Yes2.Experience with dogs? Friendly and has a BOYFRIEND named Deejay, very non-reacive to other dogs including mine and when taken to PACC for a checkup. When taken to the groomer she was very compliant. 3.Experience with cats? unk. Honestly I think she would do well with them but I do not know. 4.Experience with kids? unk. Children may be difficult for her due to her fear of loud people. 5.Details on leash training, crate training and other training commands known: Nala is learning to walk on a leash, learning down, sit and come. She is a quick study!6.Details on personal history, if known (how did he/she arrive at the shelter): She was found on Palo Verde between Irvington and Valencia at a Circle K. she came out to be seen when her partner was approached.

She likes to eat the mesquite beans in the yard. 3.Describe activity level: She has enjoyed short walks and is learning to trust that, when her partner Deejay is included she is most happy. she enjoys resting as she has had a hard life but is in the stages of forming her personality!4.Look into the dog’s eyes. What is he/she telling you? I am scared to trust but the consistency has brought happiness to her eyes. She panicks a little if Deejay is not there and she is unsure if you will return him. if she is uncomfortable she will gently step back and expects to be treated poorly. She seems relieved when her kindness and trust is not harmed. 5.What are the best adjectives to describe this dog? Sweet and loving, loyal and calm. She wants a person to rely on. 6.What does the dog specifically DO that exemplifies those adjectives (ex. Maybe a good adjective for the dog is “loving”.
