Nala is a very sweet older lady. She loves to cuddle and will match your energy level. If you want to go on a hike she’s down or if you want to just hang out at home she’s happy with that too.

Nala needs to be the only pet in the home. She is friendly and not reactive to dogs when out and about but she wants all of the attention for herself while at home.
