Nala

She came to us through a rescue who believed she might be an Alaskan Klee Kai, and we were already thoroughly invested in her story before it turned out she very much was not. Nala, for her part, had decided that Casa Louvel was home, that she was staying, and that was very much that.Who are we to argue with Princess Nala? So here she stayed.

A Trained Nose

Nala is trained to find truffles and has a genuine talent for it, but her working days never quite began. She came to us with crippling car anxiety from her life before rescue, which makes travelling her out to sites simply impossible, so rather than force the issue, we let her retire before she had properly started.

​

Nala seems entirely at peace with the arrangement. As far as she is concerned, life before Louvel Canines was quite hard enough, and these days she would much rather be pampered, preened, and treated like the princess she has clearly always believed herself to be. She does, however, make a wonderful exception for the puppies, and turns into the doting auntie the moment any arrive.
