Story
Playful and Silly- gets zoomies-SUPER snuggly- loves lounging with a nylabone- good on walks- LOVES LOVES LOVES CAR RIDES!!!!! Honestly, the car is her favorite spot to be, she hops in the passenger seat- curls up- and smiles. Would not need a crate once she knows your home. She has a high ph in her urine (when she urinates, she burns the grass) so she gets one pill once a day and that controls it- ($0.25 per day) Something must have happened in her past (she was a death row dog at a shelter in Oklahoma that we took) that involved guns, or, when you use the hose outside with the sprayer on it. We know this because nerf guns are a no no around Aida- she gets very upset and tries to bite the nerf gun, and same with the hose sprayer. She's totally fine with baths- even the handheld shower head that we give her a bath with- but guns and hoses terrify her. Great family dog, sweet, snuggly, animated, smart, and car rides are her reason for living! No guns, no hoses, no cats, and no other dogs. If you have questions or are interested in a NALA Rescue dog you MUST APPLY TO WWW.NALARESCUE.ORG to be considered! If approved we will reach out to you at the point but please remember to be patient as we are all volunteers. If the dog is posted, it is available for adoption! Once the dog is adopted he/she will be removed from this page. So please NO inquiries if this dog is available

Pickles - I'm Kind of a Big Dill! Hi! I'm Pickles, and I'm in a pickle....I can't seem to find my furever home. I love my humans and want to spend every waking minute with them, no matter what they're doing! If you want to lay on the couch and cuddle, count me in! If you want to mow the yard, I can help supervise. If you need something to do with your hands, I'd love a good belly rub! I don't care what you are doing, I just have some serious FOMO (which stands for "fear of missing out" for all you non millennial folks out there) and need to know what's going on 24/7! Please apply for me today...I'll be the biggest "dill-light" of your life! NALA Rescue is a home-based foster rescue and does not have a facility.

Story
Winston - Deaf Dogs Hear with Their Hearts Hello world I'm Winston....please don't mind me as I practice my sign language! You see, I'm hearing impaired, but I am super smart so I use hand signs to communicate! I have been waiting a while for my perfect home, but I will be a great companion once I find the right match. I will need SEVERAL MEETS before adoption, as I am people selective and it takes me a bit to get to know and trust someone. I'm a two year old who is a happy, handsome fella with gorgeous baby blues and would love to be someone's one and only. Once I trust them, I'd love for them to take me on walks/runs, play fetch, toss me toys, snuggle with me and teach me new commands! I do have a few requirements, though: I NEED A FENCED IN YARD, AN EXPERIENCED OWNER AND MUST BE AN ONLY DOG. So, if you have enough time, patience, dogs skills and can go slow with me, I will learn to trust you and be your loyal forever boy. No apartments please! Also, small children make me really nervous as I can't hear them so teenagers and adults only. I also prefer a house that won't be active with too many strangers coming and going but am crate trained, if needed. I currently living with a trainer and she loves me so much that she will provide continued training help for my whole life! I haven't had many good experiences in my life yet, so I'd love to be your loyal best new friend, if you have time to devote to me! Want to meet me and see how amazing we can be together? Please apply at www.nalarescue.org to adopt or for more information. All shots, boosters, rabies, spay/neuter, and microchip is included in NALA Rescue's Adoption donation fee. All meets are scheduled by appointment only once an application is approved. Please apply at www.nalarescue.org and if approved we will reach out to the applicant and answer all questions.

Bubba Male Altered DOB: 8/14/21 Kennel Trained Potty trained Gets along with dogs Would be best with children that know how to use a gentle touch with animals. Meet Bubba, a little wiggle butt that is sure to make you smile! Full body wiggles will greet you throughout the day with a face that melts your heart. Bubba loves having a bed and makes it known that it is his. It's his safe spot and he needs to feel like he has a place of his own. He is crate trained but it isn't necessarily needed. He needs patience and the chance to explore and grow at his own pace. He adores toys and brings them to his bed as he plays with them. Either playing by himself or with other dogs, he does great. Bubba does well with other dogs, slow intros are best for this old soul. He would do best with a dog friend or as an only dog. Bubba will require some maintenance to ensure he has regular grooming even thought the fluffy look is super cute. He is potty trained! If you are interested in Bubba please fill out an application at www.nalarescue.org.
