Nala

English Bulldog · Female · Adult · 4 years

Nala is a sweet and affectionate girl who loves being close to her people. She has settled beautifully into foster care, where she enjoys cuddles, carrying her favourite soft toys around the house, and relaxing with her family. Nala is housetrained, travels well in the car, and is happy to curl up on a comfy bed after a day of adventures. Nala quickly warms up with gentle introductions and soon shows her friendly, playful side. She loves fuss, will happily lean in for cuddles, and is known for proudly carrying toys, shoes, and even crocs around without damaging them! She would prefer to be the only dog in the home but is happy to have doggy friends out on walks. Her new family will need to continue her muzzle training and positive vet handling work, as she finds veterinary examinations worrying. This lovely girl is ready to find a patient, understanding family who will help her thrive and enjoy all the cuddles, toys, and adventures she loves. Nala is a 4 year old French Bulldog x Pug who is full of character! She could live with secondary school aged children as long as they are calm and able to give her space when she needs it. Nala is looking for a home where she will be the only dog, but could have dog walking friends. She also need a home free from cats and small furies as she has shown some tendencies to chase squirrels and cats. Nala needs a home with minimal leaving hours to begin however, once settled into her new home this time could be built up gradually.

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a small adult english bulldog dog waiting at Dogs Trust Newbury in Newbury.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nala, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nala?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Newbury handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nala on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nala if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Newbury will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Nala already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Nala isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dogs Trust Newbury early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nala and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
