A Plea for Nala — A Gentle Giant Who Needs Us Now

Nala is a sweet, 7-year-old, 90-lb gentle giant whose world turned upside down when her person passed away. With no family able to step forward, she ended up in an overcrowded shelter where she was immediately at risk of euthanasia. Scared, grieving, and confused, her fear was palpable. Still, she tried her best to adjust, keeping to herself and quietly waiting for a chance at safety.

That chance finally arrived — but once in our care, it became clear that Nala is not comfortable sharing her space with other dogs. She is loving, affectionate, wonderful on a leash, and gentle with people, but she truly needs to be an “only dog.” And as we know too well, finding fosters without other pets is a challenge on its own… finding one for a large dog like Nala is even harder.

Because of this, Nala has landed in boarding. She’s safe, she’s cared for, and she has a soft place to land — but it comes at a significant cost. As a foster-based rescue, unexpected boarding for a dog her size creates an enormous strain. Every day she remains there, resources that would otherwise go toward saving more animals are being stretched thinner and thinner.

This is where we need your help.

Can you help us cover Nala’s boarding expenses?
Any amount — truly, any amount — makes a difference. It adds up quickly and allows us to continue saying “yes” to dogs like Nala who have nowhere else to turn.

Nala didn’t give up when life became unbearably hard. She held on, waiting for kindness to find her.
Please help us show her she was right to hope.

Thank you for caring, for giving, and for helping us protect dogs who depend on us for their second chance.
