More about Nala

Meet our sweet girl Nala!

Nala arrived at Battersea as a gift and has shown herself to be a lively, affectionate young lady with a heart full of love. She has a lovely history in her previous home, though her owners did note a sensitive side, particularly when left alone and around loud noises.

Since being with us, we’ve seen that same cheerful, full-of-beans personality, but also the extent of her separation anxiety. Nala really struggles when left on her own, so her new owners will need to be confident and patient in helping her through this with gentle, consistent training.

Nala has been friendly with everyone she’s met and, although a little worried at first, she quickly makes friends and loves nothing more than some fuss and attention. She enjoys the company of other dogs and could possibly live with a well-matched canine companion - ideally a tolerant, confident dog who can set a good example for her.

She’s looking for a home in any location with access to a private, secure garden where she can play and unwind. Nala could live with teenagers aged 13+ and perhaps may even be able to live with a dog-savvy cat, given very careful introductions.

Half of Nala’s mix is likely American Bull breed, and the other half is Dutch Shepherd, a highly intelligent breed, each breed bringing unique traits and energy. We recommend her new owners do a little research into both breeds to make sure she’s the right fit for their lifestyle.

Nala will thrive with owners who can provide her with plenty of physical and mental stimulation, as well as ongoing socialisation and positive, reward-based training. This delightful young pup has so much love and fun to give. With time, patience and guidance, Nala will grow into a well-rounded, joyful companion who’ll bring endless fun and affection to her forever home.
