Nala

Nala is an adoptable female Staffordshire Bull Terrier looking for a home at BARC Animal Shelter in Houston, Texas. She is still very young and medium in size. She is listed on the shelter's euthanasia list, listed due to lack of space, and that date has now passed. Shelters often move these dates, so Nala may still be waiting. The shelter can confirm.

Staff consistently describe her as quiet, friendly, patient, and affectionate. She greets caregivers with a wiggly little body, soft eyes, perked-up ears, and an enthusiastically wagging tail. She allows staff to pick her up and carry her without any trouble and patiently waits while her kennel is cleaned. Even with other dogs passing by, Nala remains calm and quiet. On one occasion, she was observed trembling slightly despite wagging her tail'a heartbreaking reminder that she's still just a baby trying to navigate a frightening environment.
