My story

Hi I’m Nala! For over a year, I waited in Moosonee for someone to choose me. A whole year. So now I'm here, introducing myself. The first thing you should know about me is that I'm a 3 y/o Husky x Lab x Rotti mix and I absolutely adore people. New people? Love them. Kids? Love them too. I hand out affection like it's my full-time job. The second thing you should know is that walks are my favourite thing in the entire world. I'm an active girl who loves getting outside, but once I've had my adventures, I'm wonderfully relaxed at home. My foster says I'm incredibly well-behaved indoors, and when left alone, I'm usually found doing what I do best: sleeping. The third thing you should know is if a squirrel appears and my future family will need to continue helping me work on my leash skills and managing my excitement around squirrels, other small animals, and unfamiliar dogs. The last thing you should know about me is that I'd prefer to be your one-and-only. I've shown a strong prey drive toward squirrels and other small animals, and I can be selective about my dog friends. Because of this, I'd do best as the only pet in the home, where I can soak up all of your love and attention while continuing to work on my training. The good news is that I'm smart, eager to be with my people, and already have so many wonderful qualities that can't be taught. I'm affectionate. I'm house-trained. I'm crate-trained. I'm gentle with people. I'm great in public places. And I'm ready for the next chapter of my life. I've spent enough time waiting. Now I'm looking for a family who sees the incredible dog behind the leash-training work, who understands that nobody is perfect, and who wants a loyal best friend to share walks, adventures, couch time, and unconditional love. If you've made it this far, I have a feeling we might be exactly what each other has been looking for. If interested head over to teamdogrescue.ca/adoptables to apply today!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Nala, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
