I love Katherine Hepburn. A woman of headstrong independence and spirited personality who did not suffer fools lightly. An unconventional woman of her day, she never played warm maternal characters and was self-assured and athletic both on and off screen. Sometimes bossy and demanding, she was not a social butterfly but preferred privacy and devotion to only a few. I think Katherine Hepburn could have related to our delightful English Shepherds.
So meet Nyla, the Katherine Hepburn of dogs. At 11 years young, Nyla is an athletic, spirited dog who has made her opinion of other dogs and children very clearly known: she will not mix with other dogs and cannot handle the chaos of little children. In her puppyhood, Nyla had had an unfortunate experience that really shaped her opinion about other dogs. So, lucky you! No dog parks or doggy "play dates", no need for doggy best friends. The root of her discomfort for children is unclear but it is important that her new owners understand this and keep Nyla and children safe from unfortunate interactions. But adults young and old? They are a delight to her!
Nyla is a petite little thing, only 35 lbs, and keeps her svelte figure with a daily game of tennis ball. A good game of fetch and a focused walk every day will keep Nyla happy as she continues to enjoy her golden years. Other than some dental work that will be seen to by NESR before she is adopted, Nyla is in good health and is housebroken. She is at that perfect age where she would be content to keep your feet warm, listen to Sunday afternoon jazz, contemplate the stars before snuggle down for the night. And yet she still has the energy and enthusiasm to motivate you to keep moving. She will make someone with the right circumstances a delightful companion.
Nyla is located in southern Colorado. If you would like more information on Nyla please contact Kathi ktesarz@gmail.com or rescue@nesr.info
