Nola is a young, mixed-breed girl with a heart as big as her energy level. She's a lively pup who loves to move, play, and explore. With her high energy, she's looking for a family that can keep up with her zest for life and provide her with the activity and structure she thrives on.
Though Nola can be shy and nervous at first, her sweet and gentle nature shines once she feels safe. She has some anxiety, so she'll need a patient, understanding home that can help her build confidence and show her the world isn't such a scary place. With consistency, positive reinforcement, and lots of love, Nola is sure to blossom into the loyal and loving companion she's meant to be.
If you're ready for an active partner who will repay your kindness with endless affection, Nola may be the perfect match!
