Nala's World

Nala's World Hi I'm Nala! My foster mom and dad tell me I'm their little baby girl.

While I cannot talk for myself (yet), I was graciously found by an amazing samaritan when I was at the end of my rope, and this is my story of recovery and triumph.

🐾 Nala’s Spring Update 🐾

Hi friends… it’s me, Nala 🐶

I know I know its been a bit since of posted...

And guess what… I finally feel like me again.

Last summer and fall, I was a healing girl. Lots of rest, careful steps, and snuggles while my tummy got better after those big surgeries. Then winter came, and just when I thought I was ready… my paw needed fixing too. More healing. More patience. (I wasn’t always the best at that part 😅)

But NOW…

The sun is warm.
The grass feels amazing under my paws.
And I am FREE to run, explore, and LIVE.

I’ve been going on more walks… longer ones too! And hikes?! Ohhhh I LOVE hikes. So many smells. So many sticks. So many adventures waiting around every corner.

And water?!
Let’s talk about WATER.

I saw a waterfall on my last walk and decided it was clearly meant for drinking… all of it. Immediately. 💦😂 mom said no "eating" the waterfall...
Still working on my “don’t try to consume entire nature features” command… but I’m learning!

My training is in full swing, and I’m doing SO good (if I do say so myself). I’m listening better, focusing more, and really stepping into my “good girl era.” My humans say I might even try for my AKC Canine Good Citizen this summer… which sounds important and exciting!

And then… maybe… just maybe…

I heard whispers about maybe studying for my first Search and Rescue certification for HRD 👀
That sounds like BIG DOG WORK. I don’t totally know what it means yet… but I know it involves purpose, adventure, and helping people. And that makes my tail wag extra fast.

For now, I’m just soaking it all in—every step, every breeze, every splash, every moment I didn’t get to have before.

I’m not just healed…
I’m thriving.

Love,
Nala 🐾💛

Hi all, quick update here on Nala bear. Surgery went well, she had the growths on her two paws removed and she is recovering nicely. I mean what's a few walls walked into with the cone... no biggie 😬🤷‍♀️

As for the discharge instructions that she'll be groggy for the next 12 hours. Try telling a young guardian breed pup that she doesn't need to be "on duty" lol She sat straight up head slumped, drool dripping trying to stay on alert in the kitchen while we cooked dinner. Poor baby...

She of course already had one bandage come off, but we expected as much luckily everyone in the house has healthcare experience and rewrapping a bandage to prevent infection is like riding a bike for us around here. 7 days til a recheck then 7 more days til sutures dissolve.

Food of course was a non issue, if Nala loves anything it is definitely eating! She was super happy to finally eat 😋 and grateful for yummy food! May have even added a sardine or two to her dish.

Outside of the cone of shame, random whines and moans of confusion and barks for imaginary hearing of the things due to still being slightly groggy from sedation shes doing well!

Thank you everyone for your thoughts, prayers and words of encouragement for our sweet Nala.

❤️ - Nicole & John

Hi friends, it’s Nala the rescue pup checking in 🐾❄️

I’ve been a busy girl lately! Between obedience training and continuing my Search & Rescue work, I’m learning more every day and loving every minute of it—especially when it involves being outside. And let me tell you… SNOW is my absolute favorite. Zoomies + snow = pure happiness 🤍 Unless of course I find someone to sleep or lay on including my big (little) brother.

But… plot twist. I need another surgery 😬
Good news: not my tummy this time.
Weird news: it’s my paws. Apparently, extra nails can grow out of your paw pads?! Who knew 🤷‍♀️🐕 So I’ll be taking it easy for the next few weeks while I recover and get back on all four paws again.

Once I’m healed, I’m headed into an intensive 3-week immersion training program to help with dog reactivity (okay… mostly not our household dogs 😅) and to gain extra support skills for Search & Rescue foundations. Big goals. Big girl work.

Christmas was an absolute blast 🎄🎁
I even got to unwrap my very own gifts and toys (10/10 recommend). But let’s be honest… even with all the new goodies, my favorite activity is still annoying my big brother. LOL 😉 Sibling love at its finest.

Please say a little prayer for my surgery, and I promise I’ll keep you posted once I’m on the mend.

With tail wags and puppy kisses,
Nala 🐾❤️

🐾 Hey frens, it’s me — Nala! 🐶💛

Training is going sooo good lately! Mom says I’m such a good girl (and I totally agree 😇). I’ve got my sit and lay down skills pretty much mastered — easy peasy! The stay command though… oof, that one’s a little tricky. I just love my mom so much that watching her walk away is the hardest thing ever! Plus, how am I supposed to resist those yummy treats when she calls me back?! 😋

This weekend I got to go out and support my amazing Search and Rescue family — the Ohio Special Response Team (OSRT) — at the Atwood Fall Festival in Mineral City, Ohio! 🍂🎡 It was so much fun! There were lots of treats, tons of new smells, and so many kids to lick — seriously, kids always have the best-tasting hands! 😂

We were there helping raise money to support our 100% volunteer, self-funded Search and Rescue team. 💪 Every bit helps — it costs around $300 just to send a K9 like me to a search or disaster. So if you couldn’t make it today, you can still stop by tomorrow at the festival or support online:

Thanks for cheering me (and my team) on! You all make tail wags happen. 🐾💛

Love,
Your favorite pup, Nala 🐕✨

Hey frens checking in 🐾 Sooo… I learned a new trick! 🎉 It’s called: how to trick my people into helping me into the car 🚗😏 Pretty smart, right?? Except… Mom’s not buying it. Not even with my best sad puppy eyes 🥺👉👈 Ruff life, huh?

Buuut guess what? I’ve been getting alllll the snuggles with my boy 💙 He’s one of my absolute favorites and loves to play with me! 🐕💨💛

That’s all for now—but stay tuned, I’ve got more tricks and tail wags coming soon! 🐾✨

OMG guys today was PAWESOME!! 🐾💋 I got to run the kissing booth and woweee did I give out soooo many smooches!! Everyone loved my headband (I mean… fashion icon much? 😍✨) and I got so many treats for being the best lil’ kisser around!

But the BEST part? Every smooch and every donation helped my fur friends with Euclid Pet Pals 🧡🐶🐱 That means more tails waggin’, more happy purrs, and more love all around.

I can’t wait to see you at my next pupper event—who’s ready for more kisses?! 😘🐾

Thanks to all the amazing staff and volunteers at Euclid Pet Pals Euclid Animal Shelter ❤️

🐾 Hi furiends! Nala here! 🐶☀️

Wow oh wow, summer has been sooo much fun! I’ve been doing obedience and distraction training (boring sometimes but I’m getting sooo good 💪), and working on my basic skills for search and rescue—because I wanna be a real hero one day 🧡.

But wanna know the BEST part? My absolute BEST friend is Daisy 🐕, the blue heeler next door! She’s the fastest zoomer I’ve ever met. Daisy barks at the fence to tell me she’s outside and ready to play, and then I go NUTS until mom and dad finally let me out. Hehe, sorry mom & dad 🤭.

🌟 NOW for the MOST important news… Tomorrow, September 14th, from 11am–4pm is the Euclid Shelter & Euclid Pet Pals Vendor Fair! I’ll be there from 1:30–3:30 at the Kissing Booth! 💋🐶 Come say hi, grab a smooch from me, and maybe give me a treat too (I won’t say no 😋). Most importantly, you’ll be helping raise $$$ for all the amazing animals who still need their furever homes. 🏡🐾

Hope to see you there, friends! 🧡
