It's been a little over a month since Nala was rescued from
her previous hoarding situation. The vet thinks she is about 7 yrs
old. She has a perpetual puppy face and floppy ears so it's easy to
forget that she is the oldest dog in the house!
When she got here, she was super skinny, and had hair loss
due to flea infestation. She was lethargic and pretty much slept all
day for the first few weeks.
She has put on a few pounds since but she has also gained
some muscle tone and has started filling out. She is trying to play
with the other dogs but she is still learning. Her fur is also growing
back in. She has some very pretty brown flecks in there!
She has such a sweet, passive personality. Luckily her
previous home did not have any negative effects on her demeanor at all.
She loves people and other animals. As soon as she sees another dog,
she walks right up and gives them a kiss. Then she steals all of their
toys. Not aggressively, though, just very sneaky! She has no problem
with grooming at all. In fact my daughter even painted her nails a
pretty pink color and she just sat there and enjoyed being pampered.
I was having an issue potty training her at first because
she was so afraid to go outside. I kept taking her out for a few mins
every day and she would stand by the door and shake. Suddenly, one day,
she ran out with the other dogs and did her business and that was it.
After that, accidents in the house have become far and few between.
I need to schedule her spay and work on some basic commands and I think she will be ready to go to her forever home very soon!
