Description
Beautiful Nala is the mother of the Fall puppies - Autumn, Cider, Ember, Maple, Pumpkin, and Sweet Potato (Tator) - and the mate to Simba. Having had an accidental litter last year, their family recognized that it is very difficult to properly train, care for, and provide adequate stimulation for a large number of dogs. Recognizing that this special furry family would be most successful if placed within a breed specific rescue, their family contacted MAGSR. Last fall, dad (Simba) and the Fall puppies were all surrendered to MAGSR. Although we offered to welcome mom (Nala) when the remainder of the furry family was surrendered, Nala's owners wanted to keep her. Unfortunately, circumstances changed almost a year later and Nala needed immediate placement. With a no family left behind policy, our team did not think twice when asked to welcome Nala. With the last member of this family in our care, we will continue our mission to find safe and loving forever homes for every member of the family.
Nala moved into the rescue a few weeks ago. Although she was loved by her family, she was not given many opportunities to socialize outside of her family (both human and canine). She had lived on her family's property throughout her life and did not take many trips out and about. As a result, she is a little overwhelmed by all of the changes happening right now. Our team has been working with Nala to provide her with socialization in controlled settings, with new people, and animals. We are also beginning to teach basic manners and training. Training, as is true with all dogs, is key to Nala's success. It is critical that her forever family continue Nala's socialization and get into a solid training program. Not only will this help Nala develop a healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the confidence and stability needed to become a good canine citizen. Nala is an intelligent and active girl, who is looking for a family that will cherish her for a lifetime. Could that family be you?
