  • ✓Spayed / neutered

Simba who? Meet Nala. She's the captain of Team No Days Off. She'd graduate from the Army's basic training and say "that was fun!" A triathlon / Tough Mudder / Crossfit fanatic. Nala is looking for an adventure buddy who can act as her team captain, troop seargent, and BFF all rolled into one. She's excited to show you her working-dog obedience skills (why yes, she is rather Type A) and add your favorite tricks and stunts to her already rather lengthy skill list. Nala does her best work when she doesn't have to share the podium. She prefers to be the only pet in the home and is happiest in a space that has an enclosed yard. Neighborhood walks? No thanks. Backyard agility course? Oh yeah. Nala's a work hard, relax hard kind of girl. She loves to spend quality time with her people and has been known to go from one-glance to attached-at-the-hip in record time. If you're all in, she is too!

American Pit Bull Terrier

🧠 Temperament

Affectionate, people-loving and often startlingly goofy — pit bull type dogs are typically very social with humans. Dog-to-dog tolerance varies a lot by individual, so the rescue's observations matter more than the label.

🎾 Exercise

High — 60+ minutes daily plus chew and puzzle outlets. They are strong and benefit from structured training.

✂️ Grooming

Very easy. Short coat, minimal shedding, thin coat means a winter jacket.

🏙️ In an LA apartment

The main obstacle is paperwork, not the dog: many buildings and insurers restrict pit bull type dogs, and enforcement is based on appearance. Confirm your building's policy first.

Adoption fee $250
