NB: We do not rehome interstate or to applicants under 25. It is our policy not to rehome dogs in the Sunraysia area. As rescue groups have transported thousands of homeless dogs from Mildura and Sunraysia pounds over the last decade, we do not intend to send any back there.

Nala is a gorgeous dog who just wants to be loved. Once she gets to know and trust you she will be your lifelong companion.
When Nala came to us it was apparent she was starved of attention. She gradually came to realize we were there to care for her and love her.
Nala has very good manners. She has been taught to lie down and relax before she gets any food or treats. We have another dog, and we’ve always fed them separately, but even when giving them treats, there’s no guarding or growling. Nala sits on command and we’ve been reinforcing the need to sit before crossing a road. She is learning slowly.
Nala is not really into balls or toys but she loves to walk at your heels. If given the chance she will run around, and she returns on command. Nala gets along well with other dogs – both ours and others she meets. She is not a barker – she may alert you to someone coming but does not bark continually.
On the leash she walks calmly but can get spooked by loud sirens or motorbikes on the road. Nala runs well on the leash, however she is interested in other dogs and likes to sniff them, so can lunge in front of you, so beware.
It would seem that Nala has been an outside dog, but has transitioned well to loving the good life and being indoors. She loves to lie in the sun and soak up the rays.
Nala is clever and knows how to use the doggy door. She takes herself outside to toilet. Around 8.30pm every night she takes herself outside and she’s then good overnight. Nala is the perfect car passenger. She settles easily on the back seat of the car and sleeps.
Nala just wants to be loved. She gradually began to trust us and it took her about 8 days to venture up onto our laps on the couch. She is hungry for attention and the loveliest of souls. She wants a forever home where she is adored.
Thank you to Liv Morison of Liv Morison photography for the fantastic photos of Nala.
