Adopt Nala
Belgian Malinois · Female · Adult · 7 years
Nala is a sweetheart with a shy side, but she gets attached to people quite quickly and it shouldn't take her long to form a bond with a new family. She gets a little overwhelmed if there's lots going on around her, but in quiet areas she likes to have a good sniff around and is much more relaxed. She just loves to be made a fuss of and will nudge your elbow so that she can snuggle under your arm! Nala loves tasty treats, especially cheese, and this is a great way to start some training with her to help her build her confidence. She has a good understanding of basic training already, and knows a few commands and tricks. Further training would help strengthen the bond with her adopters, but boundaries must be set in the home from day one. Nala shouldn't be allowed on beds or sofas, as she hasn't always enjoyed people sharing that space with her. She should have her own safe and comfortable space in the house where she can be left. Dogs are just fine without access to the settee! Nala didn't have many positive interactions with other dogs in her formative years, and this has left her wary of others. She can walk nearby them if slowly and appropriately introduced, but shouldn't be forced into any face to face meetings as this won't help her one bit. Nala requires a home with no other pets and adults only. She is house trained and although she will need someone at home with her most of the day initially, once settled she could be left alone for a couple of hours without worry. She’s a nervous girl who will need a family committed to spending time getting to know over the course of a few visits at the centre.
