Nyla is a 3 - to 4 - year - old female Shepherd mix. She acts aggressive in her kennel to new people, but she is friendly when taken out of her kennel. She is a little more timid toward men than women but once she gets to know you, she will wiggle her whole butt when you talk to her. She walks well on a leash and loves treats and toys. It is recommended that she not be adopted into a home with children due to her nervous behavior. She does not do will with other dogs or cats. She does fairly well in a crate. Nyla is spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative and on prevention. She has been with us since 7/12/2021. For more information or to adopt Nyla, contact the Erath County Humane Society at (254) 965-3247 or via Facebook.
