People-Loving Dog Looking to Fetch Her Forever Family at VHS

Meet Nala, our Pet of the Week from the Vanderburgh Humane Society.

Nala's Story

Nala is a 2-year-old terrier mix up for adoption at the VHS. She loves being with people, and as you can see from the video above, her favorite thing to do is play fetch. The VHS says she walks well on a leash but isn't always aware of her own strength, so don't be surprised if she ends up walking you every once in a while. The ideal family situation for Nola would be a home with adults or big kids who also enjoy tug of war and play wrestling.

Her adoption fee is $150 which covers the cost of her spay, microchip, and up-to-date vaccinations. All of which would be way more expensive if you paid for them individually.

If you're interested in Nola or any of the other animals up for adoption at the Vanderburgh Humane Society, get a jump on the adoption process by filling out some of the paperwork in advance on the VHS website.
