Nala von Nieheim is the cutest 2 year old shepherd mixed with some fun smaller breed.  You can't help but to smile at her face, which changes expressions as you say different things to her.  Our volunteers swear that she knows exactly what they are saying.  Nala is one of those all-round good dogs that fits into every situation.  Initially shy, she will eventually crawl into your lap if you let her.  Her playful personality welcomes children and all sizes of dogs,    In the car she prefers riding in the passenger seat but reluctantly goes to the back if told to do so.  Nala is house trained and will be a great family dog for whoever is lucky enough to adopt her.
