Nala is a 5-year-old boxer whose entire mission in life is to love her person with her whole wiggly heart.

She greets you with full-body tail wags, leans her weight into your legs, and curls up beside you like she’s been waiting all day.

She has the goofy charm boxers are famous for — dramatic butt wiggles, silly crooked sits, “talking” with her paws, playful twirls, and joyful laser-pointer zoomies that will absolutely make you laugh.

But Nala also has a tender, sensitive side. She loves closeness, human touch, and being someone’s emotional companion. She’s a true Velcro dog — the kind who seeks you out when you’re upset and quietly rests her head on your knee.

 

At 5 years old, Nala is in a wonderful stage of life:

• past the wild puppy phase

• house-trained & crate-trained

• sleeps well

• predictable, stable, and playful

 

Nala thrives as the only dog, where she can fully relax and soak up affection. She does best with a calm, quieter lifestyle and a person who values connection over crowds. While she has made progress with training (including the Training & Shadow program at K9 Lifeline), she can be reactive in busy environments and will do best with someone who understands that her world should expand slowly and without pressure.

If you’re looking for a deeply bonded companion — a dog who will love you fiercely, make you laugh daily, and bring warmth and personality into a peaceful home — Nala may be your perfect match.
