I’m Nala, a 5-month-old husky mix. At first I wondered why I was named  Nala . Then I watched The Lion King and decided it's the perfect name for me. My fur is a pretty blonde and fawn color, just like Nala's; I'm happy-go-lucky and optimistic about life; and I LOVE to romp and pounce just like a little lion cub. I love spending my time playing with my foster dog brother and sister. Even though they are bigger and older than I am, I keep up with them pretty well. They're teaching me how to be a well-behaved pup and where my place is in the pack. I also love to play with my foster cat brothers. They don't seem to feel the same way about me, but that's OK. My foster mom says I'm doing great at crate- and potty-training. I sleep through the night in my crate as long as I know someone is nearby. I already know how to sit and shake; I walk well on a leash; and I am learning other basic commands. As I said, I do like to play, but when I get tired, I also love to snuggle up to my people and other dogs. If you'd like to get to know me better, please fill out an application today!  Nala is a typical puppy that will require ongoing training.
