My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi I’m Nala,

I am so happy to meet you. I do love my people and I get excited when I first meet new people because I am still a puppy of sorts. I believe I am about a year old.

I am a fan of belly scratches and I’m learning to sit, and walk nicely on a leash! I really don’t bark often, only at meeting new people and a little with unknown doggie pals until introductions are done. After I meet a dog.....best friends for life! I love sleeping with my head on my doggy friends:)

I don’t like the hose, I don’t know what it is. I know, its kinda weird since I have Lab in my genes. I think it’s the sound.

I know I can be trained to be the best house pet and family member. I like being near my people, and I will be loyal in my new home.

If my people are around I am ok with meeting new other humans. I will need a few minutes to know we are both safe. (treats help ) and then I am good to go.

I think I am pretty and I’m easy to brush. I don’t mind my ears or teeth being looked at. I am still learning my manners, but I can be a lover girl.

Nala is a big dog and she does need an owner who has experience with retrievers, shepherds or other large breeds.

Nala's adopters must be 100% committed to training and loving her for the rest of her years. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. Her adoption fee of $350 helps offset medical fees. If you live in the Phoenix metro area, and think Nala could be the right fit for you, please complete an adoption application * at: https://www.helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application/ .

*Please note that the application is not a commitment to adopt–it is a tool used to help determine if a dog and applicant would make a good match. Applications are forwarded to the foster family for review and follow-up.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adoption is a lifetime commitment. After an application and a verbal interview is completed and it is determined that the adoption is a compatible match, a contract is signed with specific guidelines. An adoption fee (usually between $250-$500) to help off-set medical, feeding and Rescue costs is collected. The contract states that at any time the adoption does not work out, the dog is to be returned to our Rescue group for alternate placement. The dog is not to be 'given away' or 'rehomed' or 'taken to the pound'. If there are other dogs in the home, they must meet prior to adoption. All family members in the household have to agree to the adoption. No dog is to be adopted as a 'gift'. No out of state adoptions.

Adoptions can be arranged by appointment or our dogs can be met on the first Saturday of the month at Petsmart, Desert Ridge Noon to 3:00 PM.
