Age: 7 years Gender: Female Color: Liver/White Weight: 40 lbs. Variety: Field-bred Hi there Springer lovers. My name is Nala. No, I wasn't in the movie The Lion King, but I am a sweet, gentle, and very timid seven-year-old spayed female. I was raised from puppyhood by a very loving and caring family, which had to give me up because their new landlord said they could only have one dog. Their other dog, a neutered male ESS who fathered two litters of puppies with me, they felt was too "protective" to be a good adoption candidate so I was the one to go. I lived with the male ESS since puppyhood and because of this, I go on a "hunger strike" if I'm not placed in a home with at least one other medium sized dog, preferably an ESS. I love tennis balls and get along very well with children. I am housetrained, do not bark, jump, get on furniture, or sleep in your bed unless I am invited. My previous mom used to take me jogging with her and I love to ride in the car. I have no real health problems to speak of, and will sleep/stay in a crate if I have to. I am a field/bench ESS with more field than bench so I have lots of ticking, or "freckles". I would be a good dog to join a "Forever Family" with kids and another dog or a senior couple with another dog
