Neela

Neela is a beautiful 6-year-old in excellent health with a loving, loyal heart. Her mature age means she’s calm, well-adjusted, and ready to be your steady companion. She is deeply affectionate and loves to stay close to her humans, thriving on daily companionship. Sensitive and empathetic, Neela responds to your emotions and may pout if she feels she’s been scolded, needing reassurance. She’s great with kids and calm around other dogs, preferring human company. Neela does best in a home where she isn’t left alone long, as solitude makes her anxious.
