How do I contact the shelter about Nala?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. National Animal Welfare Trust 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 — National Animal Welfare Trust 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 National Animal Welfare Trust 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.

Nala

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Hello everyone I'm Nala......I literally can not wait to meet you!!!My original family couldn't give me all that I deserved due to having such a young and busy family life so I am hoping that my next home will be my forever one.Getting lots of fuss and attention is literally my favourite thing, but I am quite chatty and will let you know when you haven't paid me enough attention, so a new home with owners with time to spend with me would be amazing.I will also need new owners who will be able to match my energy - I am on the go a lot of the time and will need good long walks. I can be quite pully on the lead initially or if something takes my fancy so I will need owners who are fit and capable of managing me. I will also need to be kept on a long line and wear a muzzle if off lead in public as I'm a real scavenge and have a high prey drive. The muzzle will just ensure that any little dogs or other small animals are kept safe when I'm about. I am extremely clever so will need to to keep my mind occupied too - I am super smart at puzzle games and quick to learn tricks and commands. I am very puppy like with my play and will love every single toy you show me. I am a large sized dog and can get a bit bouncy and excited so will need a home with enough space and owners who can cope with that. I think a nice calm home would suit me best as although I have lived with very young children and am very friendly with them they do tend to make me rather anxious when they make lots of noise or are a bit too playful. I can become restless, panty and whiny when its like this so definitely older teenagers or adults would suit me more I think. Food is another of my favourite things which makes training and enrichment time really fun and rewarding but like I've said I will scavenge and eat anything!!! I am ok to leave at home for a few hours as I am completely clean in the house but I may just rip up soft toys if they are left out. I haven't done an awful lot of traveling in the car yet but I am very much up for getting used to that.I am such a beautiful girl so I really hope it wont be too long before a new home is found for me x Nala x NAWT Cornwall Wheal Alfred Kennels Wheal Alfred Road Hayle Cornwall TR27 5JT Choose an item from our Amazon wish-list and it will come straight to us! Sponsor me and my friends to ensure I am safe and warm until I find a family to call my own.

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at National Animal Welfare Trust in Watford.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
