Nala German Shepherd Dog Los Angeles, CA

Meet Nala!

A loving six-year-old German Shepherd from Los Gatos, CA, whose essence is a bundle of sweetness wrapped in a striking red and black coat.

Rescued from a challenging situation, Nala’s story is one of resilience and triumph! Once facing a grim fate due to her eye injury, she was rescued and thanks to the dedication of her caretakers, Nala has made a full and healthy recovery from her surgery and is now in stable health, eagerly awaiting her forever home!

Nala is a gentle giant, weighing in at a robust 95 pounds. Her heart is as large as her frame, filled with a boundless capacity for love and companionship. Nala is particularly fond of women and forms strong bonds with those who show her kindness and patience. She may start off a bit shy, but her sweet nature quickly shines through, especially when treats are involved!

In terms of social dynamics, Nala is a harmonious pack member. She gets along well with dogs of all sizes and exhibits no resource guarding with her food, making her a great addition to a multi-dog household! While she hasn't had experience with cats or children yet, her mellow demeanor suggests she could adapt well with proper introductions and guidance.

Nala is playful and enjoys activities that engage her physically and mentally. She loves squeaky balls and playing fetch, and she knows basic commands like sit, shake, and down. Despite her playful side, Nala has a calm and timid streak, preferring multiple short walks over one long walk and enjoying the comfort of her toys or a cozy nap when left alone.

Nala's future family should be aware that she experiences motion sickness in cars and gets anxious during nail trims. Having a fenced yard would be ideal for her to play fetch and get exercise without the stress of car rides.

Although she is six years old, Nala remains an energetic and lively pup. She would thrive with an active family who can match her enthusiasm and provide her with ample opportunities for physical activity.

This endearing girl is spayed, house-trained, and up to date on all vaccinations. She’s had a history of ear infections, so her new family should continue to monitor and care for her ears. Nala’s loving temperament makes her the perfect constant companion, always by your side and ready for cuddles and pets!

Nala is ready for transport within California and surrounding states (OR, NV, AZ) and would thrive in a home where she is loved as a family member. Are you ready to give Nala her forever home?
