Meet Narla 🐾
Narla is a gentle, sensitive girl with a beautiful soul — and since arriving in foster care, she has truly come into her own. What we’ve seen emerge is a dog who is affectionate, curious, and quietly confident, with a deep capacity for connection.
While Narla once relied heavily on canine companionship, she no longer requires another dog to feel secure. She enjoys the company of other dogs and would happily share her home, but she’s equally capable of thriving as the centre of someone’s world. That said, she still plays beautifully and reads other dogs with ease.
Narla has also shown herself to be wonderful with children, approaching them with trust. She was initially hesitant around men, but her progress has been nothing short of remarkable — with patience and calm handling, she continues to grow in confidence every day.
Where Narla truly shines is on her walks. Outside, she is free-spirited and content, moving through the world with a calm joy that reflects how far she’s come. Walking with Narla feels less like a chore and more like sharing a moment with a dog who is finally at peace.
Her past hasn’t been kind, but it no longer defines her. Despite early hardship, Narla’s desire to love has always been there — in the gentle eye contact, the quiet tail wag, the way she chooses closeness once she feels safe. With time, patience, and gentle care, she opens up in the most rewarding ways.
Narla is one of those rare dogs who, once she trusts you, loves you with her whole heart. She offers loyalty, depth, and a bond that goes far beyond companionship.
She has come an extraordinary distance since arriving in foster care and is now ready for a forever home that will continue her journey and cherish the incredible dog she has become.
If you’re patient, dog-savvy, and ready to welcome a truly special soul into your life — Narla is ready to choose you.

~ ADOPTION PROCESS ~
1. Please take the time to read the dog's detailed profile thoroughly.
2. An Adoption application MUST be filled out prior to the meet and greet with the animal.
3. If successful, our adoptions co-ordinator will be in touch within 24-48 hours, if you have not received a response in this time, please check your junk folder.
4. The foster carer will then call you within 24-48 hours to set up a meet & greet, this is also the perfect time to ask any detailed information about the dog and if they are going to be a good match for you and your family.
5. The ‘Meet & Greet' - you travel to where the dog is. All potential adopters are given 5 DAYS to meet the dog. If the adopter has not met the dog in this period, then we will assume you are no longer interested. If you have a current dog and the dog you are enquiring about is over 4 months of age they must meet to ensure compatibility. Your pet must be fully vaccinated to be able to meet with our dogs in care. We strongly recommend all members of the family attend.
6. The dog MUST not be taken on the day unless PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS have been made e.g. travelling more than 5 hrs round trip. In this case we need a minimum of 3 days notice. The adoption agreement and payment must be made before collection of the dog.
7. The adopter has 24 hours to email admin@luckypaws.com.au to advise if they wish to proceed with the adoption or not. We rely on our foster carers for feedback on how the meet & greet went so each carer will advise us after the meet & greet.
8. Once you email our Adoptions Co-ordinator, we will then email you the adoption paperwork to finalise, this needs to be completed within 3 days depending if the dog is a puppy or adult. PLEASE CHECK YOUR JUNK FOLDER. The dog can only be officially adopted and taken home once the paperwork and adoption fee has been received, we will notify the foster carer and adopter when the dog is ready to go to their new home. The adopter has 4 days to collect the dog after the payment has been received.
9. A 10-day trial period commences once the animal has been collected from the foster carer. During the trial period, should the dog become ill, you must notify Lucky Paws via email at admin@luckypaws.com.au immediately. If the dog requires a vet visit Lucky Paws will ONLY cover vet treatment which has been authorised by a Lucky Paws admin at our partnered vet clinics. We will NOT reimburse you if you choose to go to your own vet or haven’t got approval.
10. The Adoption is finalised after 14 - 28 days and paperwork is sent via email after this period. Please note this can take up to 4 weeks pending on the microchip paperwork. If you need vaccination certificates for puppy school in the meantime, please email us.
Sorry we can’t take calls, as our rescue is run entirely by volunteers, but we endeavour to respond to your email within 24 - 48 hours. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
