Meet Nya, a 2.5-year-old sweetheart who is goofy, gentle, and happiest when she gets to be part of whatever her people are doing. She was found as a stray and landed at Dallas Animal Services before being given a second chance in foster care. Since then, Nya has shown just how adaptable and affectionate she is. She does well with kids and other dogs, though she tends to prefer hanging out with her humans or doing her own thing rather than constantly playing.
Nya has a great balance of energy and downtime. She enjoys daily walks, sniffing around the neighborhood, chasing balls, and working on training, but she is also perfectly happy to nap while you work and curl up on the couch afterward. She is potty trained, has done well loose in the home, and knows several commands including sit, stay, down, shake, and place.
At home, Nya is an affectionate shadow with a silly streak. She loves treats, squeaky toys, cuddling, and keeping watch out the window for anything worth reporting. She is also an adventurous explorer, so a securely fenced yard is important, and small critters like squirrels, rabbits, and cats are definitely tempting. If you are looking for a sweet, playful dog who can join you for adventures and then happily settle in for a lazy evening, Nya may be your perfect match.
