Notes: Nala is an exuberant outgoing girl who loves people, other dogs, and being in the middle of the action. She and her sister Leia are best friends and love spending quality time together and going for walks. Nala is about six months old and about 45 pounds but she should be 50 to 60 pounds when fully grown. She is not yet house trained and needs to learn leash manners, but she is willing and will learn quickly when walked frequently. Nala, like her sister, is gentle and should do well with children. She looks forward to a forever home with a fenced yard, some kids to play with, and another dog buddy to run around with.
