Nala, Australian cattle dog
Nala is a sweet female Australian cattle dog dog staying at Good Sam Animal Rescue.
Nala is a social butterfly — she's happy to keep company with other dogs. Her vaccinations are already up to date, and she is spayed. She is already house-trained.
Nala's current caretakers say:
She loves to be outside. She loves joining you in the mountains on hikes and bikes rides; she even enjoys sleeping outside. She was kicked in the head by a horse when she was younger, so she has a dent in her head and she acts a little silly, but it also made her totally friendly and loveable. She is looking for a home with a yard as she is used to being outside. She gets along great with other dogs and children, but has never been around cats.
