We actually had to trap Nala because she actually was either born in the wild or was dumped and had been since we took her in. For the first year she would not let anyone touch her but now, she is learning to walk on a leash out onto our porch. She wants to be a normal dog and will have to be with someone that has patience and plenty of love to give. She watches the other dogs and wants to be just like them. Please consider Nala as your next family member.
