Nala is a loving, sweet 95lb German Shepherd rescued from Riverside’s animal shelter after being cleared for euthanasia for her eye injury. Nala has made a full, healthy recovery from her surgery, is now in stable health and ready for adoption!
Nala gets along with dogs of all sizes and does not resource guard her food. Nala prefers women and has not had experience with cats or children yet. She is mellow and can be shy, but warms up fast with treats.
Nala is ready for transport in California and surrounding states (OR, NV, AV). I attached a google drive link below with additional photos of her background and videos of her socializing in public. I hope she will be the perfect fit for your home! https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/14fu3hW41JJIGXmzO0lKXqwQoKCUCgH0E?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0BMQABppf08-CUuPJxbG_PRDoNhM5wbf1K3y54Q2FV0t6ywfMrzCwxM-xT7XIqZg_aem_AQwDSD5n7iHwdOYMXrsFBL4RTcqeIxToDkL3g7luiLd7Fi6o17CwVXPfJsaZFfTD6Ww
