From the Foster:
All dogs are affectionate and loyal companions, but Nala really is best in show. She even beats out her current step-sister, Madison, who herself is no pushover in the affection department. You have not seen pure, unadulterated joy until you see this dog greet you after returning home from work or errands. Her tail wags so vigorously her whole body shakes and she just bobs her head up and down and squeals with happiness. Nala will most definitely live for you and love you. But that is just one of many great things about this pooch! She is super gentle around children. Even when they poke and prod, as our one year old occasionally does, Nala will just quietly tolerate, sometimes seeming to even relish the human contact. And with our other four-legged family member she has been her first true doggie pal. They chase each other around in the backyard, play tug of war with sticks, wander through the woods together, and then, when they've tired themselves out good and plenty they will sometimes curl up together in a little ball of black fur. The word 'cute' fails to do justice. Nala pretty much gets along with all other living creatures, except of course squirrels...but everyone hates squirrels, right? This dog, in addition to being housebroken and trained and very trainable, will melt your heart. Give her a chance to be your next forever family member and she will not let you regret it.
All dogs are in individual foster homes throughout the Twin Cities.
