Hi, I’m Narla,
I’m just over one year old, full of heart, and rocking that classic Aquarius vibe — Super Loyal!

I’m a medium-sized gal (under 30kg).
I absolutely love other dogs. In fact, I’ve got big sister energy written all over me. I adore the puppies at HQ and take my role as resident role model very seriously. If there’s a little one around, I’m watching over them like, “It’s okay kid, I’ve got you.”

I’m also good with cats and children — gentle, affectionate, and happy to be part of the family action!

Now the bad bit...
I was rescued from a rural NSW pound after leaving the only home I had ever known.
The pound environment was loud, stressful, and overwhelming. So many scared dogs barking… it was a lot for a sensitive girl like me and I shut down. Then when I finally found a ranger I liked in a moment of panic, I tried to escape to get to her and got both my paws caught under a metal fence. The injury resulted in cutting off a whole toe bone and all.

But here’s the thing about me — I survived it. I adapted & I kept loving.I don’t see myself as broken. I see myself as resilient.

Because of my beginning, I do have understandably mild separation anxiety. I bond deeply with my people and feel safest when I’m not left alone for long stretches. I’d be best suited to a home where someone is around most of the time — maybe part-time work, work-from-home, or a family with staggered schedules.

If you want a loyal & gentle shadow , a brave little warrior wrapped in a beautiful brindle coat… I’m your girl.
Love,
Narla 🤎🐾
