Say hi to Nala! This beautiful 6-year-old (61 lbs) girl is ready to find her happily ever after. ⁣
⁣
Nala is a sweet, laidback girl who loves naps, lounging, and soaking up affection. She’s also playful and loving, and her recent foster let us know that she’s potty trained. 
⁣
Nala could use a little brushing up on her leash manners, as she tends to pull, and she can be selective with other dogs (so she may prefer being your one and only). ⁣
⁣
This gentle girl has so much love to give and is dreaming of a family who will give her the love, care, and forever home she deserves.🐶 ❤️🏡 ⁣
⁣
Let Nala secure a special place in your heart and home, meet her at Nevada SPCA. ⁣
