Nala | Mixed Labrador | Bakersfield, CA

Meet Nala 🐾

Nala is a 6-year-old mixed Labrador who has joined our 3-Week Board & Train Rehabilitation Program.

She is very selective with other dogs and cautious with people, especially men. Over the next three weeks, we’ll focus on building her confidence, helping her feel secure around new people, and creating the structure she needs to trust and succeed.

We’re excited to guide Nala on this rehabilitation journey.
