About Nala
About Me:
Nala is a gorgeous Akita X.
She is 5 years old and has been with us far too long and we cannot understand why.
Nala is a clever sensitive girl who loves the great outdoors and exploring new places.
She is the most loyal and sweetest companion
MORE ABOUT NALA:
Loves training and eager to please so would like someone who is up for continuing her training.
Loves people but not keen on other dogs. She can pass them with no issues and is easily distracted but this will need some ongoing training, so she needs to be the only dog in the home and with no visiting dogs.
No young children – 12 plus, sensible
No cats or small animals
Travels well in the car
Neutered, fully vaccinated, flea and wormed
Fully housetrained
Sleeps well all night
Walks very well on her lead but she can get excited so will need a confident handler
Moderate to high exercise needs
Favourite hobbies include sniffing games, exploring new places, agility and training,
Dislikes include busy crowded places (prefers calm outdoor environments), being left on her own and dogs in her face.
She does have separation anxiety and would need to be in a home where she doesn’t need to be left. St Francis can support you to resolve this once she has settled into a new home.
Fit and healthy
She will need a properly secure garden with 6ft fencing (an in person home check will be carried out).
Nala has so much love to give and truly deserves a calm, loving home who will cherish her and allow her to be part of the family.
If you are experienced with large breed dogs and a confident handler and looking to give a deserving girl an amazing home, then we want to hear from you.
This beautiful girl has waited long enough and despite her couple of specific needs, we know the perfect home is out there.
We would look further afield (outside Cornwall) for the right home.
