Nala, a sweet eight-year-old, 20-pound pup, is ready to meet her forever family. After enjoying a playful romp in the snow, Nala loves lounging and soaking up all the attention. She’s excellent with the cats in her foster home, loves human affection, and is good with low-key dogs. However, Nala would be just as happy as an only pet, where she can be the center of attention!
Nala is entirely house and crate-trained and still has plenty of energy. She would do best in a home with an active family who can keep up with her love for playtime or take her on exciting adventures.
The Prince William and Manassas police departments are rallying the community to join the effort. Brave individuals and teams of family, friends, co-workers, and organizations are encouraged to participate by taking the plunge, making a donation, or simply attending to cheer on participants.
