Nyla *Arriving 11/6* D12961 - Spaniel and Chihuahua Dog for Adoption

Hi, I'm Nyla!

I'm a friendly, playful girl who's always excited to see what the world has to offer. I love making new dog friends, playing fetch, and having a good game of tug. I have a moderate energy level, so I enjoy being active but am also happy to relax when playtime is over. My favorite time of day is WALK TIME! I'm still learning my leash skills, so I'll need a little help figuring out how to be the best walking buddy.

I'm a smart girl who already knows some basic commands, and I'm working on learning to go potty outside. I had a couple of accidents during my first day or two while learning the routine, but I caught on quickly! I do okay in my crate, although I might need a couple of minutes to settle in. Since I'm still a baby, I'd love a family with someone home more often to help me learn, grow, and become the best dog I can be.

I'm friendly with everyone and do well with kids. When meeting new dogs, I can get pretty excited and playful because making friends is so much fun! I can be a little vocal when I want your attention or when I see strangers walking by. I may do well with cats, too, but that's still a mystery.

I also have a silly little quirk: when I get excited, I spin in circles! I guess I just have a little extra mischief and happiness that I don't know what to do with. If you're looking for a sweet, fun-loving companion to join you on walks, play games, and grow up alongside your family, I might just be your girl!

Nyla is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 11/6/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30am and 11:00am. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. Since they haven't arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start's Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Visit our Foster to Adopt Program page to learn more. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start's veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments.
