Meet Nala

Nala came to us after her owner could unfortunately no longer care for her as they were being evicted.

During her intake assessment, Nala demonstrated what a sweetheart she is:

– She was comfortable greeting strangers and taking treats very gently.

– She walked nicely on the lead.

– She was very friendly with one of our dogs onsite and even tolerated Dior’s crazy zoomies.

– She showed no guarding behaviours.

– With a bit of coaxing she would play with toys but didn’t seem to fussed with them.

As a breed, Chow Chows can be pretty aloof and hard to read. They’re often a slow burner, needing a little bit of time to get comfortable around people before being their full and best selves.

They require specialist grooming to manage shedding and prevent matting. Especially as we are heading into what seems to be a very hot summer, it is important to consider how they respond to the heat.

She is a picturesque princess. A real sweet dog, she is no trouble at all when walking on lead.

She knows a few commands including ‘sit, paw and lie down’ so she’s pretty switched on.

Initially, she seemed a bit hesitant having a collar put over her head but was fine with a harness.

She has only been with us a few days and is still in her assessment period, once we are able to better assess her behaviour we will be able to match her to a suitable home.

If you would like to be considered to offer Nala a home, you can fill in an application or email the kennels directly kennels@freshfields.org.uk
