Meet Nala, a golden ray of sunshine and the ultimate snuggle buddy! Since joining our Canine Ambassador program in September 2022, Nala has been spreading joy and comfort wherever she goes. She lights up when it’s time to work and loves meeting new people at special events, from Paw Squad games at Petco Park to community gatherings. Nala has a heart as big as her love for pets—she will happily curl up and fall asleep as long as someone keeps stroking her soft fur.
Her incredible personality is shaped by her amazing family. Her mom, Bri, is a dedicated nurse, and her dad, Bill, is a recently retired U.S. Navy SEAL, giving Nala the perfect mix of loyalty, courage, and compassion. Whether she’s offering comfort, showing off her gentle charm, or just melting hearts with her puppy eyes, Nala embodies everything a Canine Ambassador should be and more.
