Her two sons have since been adopted, but Nalah is still here. She is a big girl, tipping the scales at 80 pounds. Nalah is strong and healthy, affectionate and sweet, but she can also be very protective. <\/p>\n<p>She gets along with other dogs, but will not hesitate to correct them if she feels threatened or if she thinks her person is in any danger. Because of that, we are hoping to place Nalah in a home with someone who has large breed experience, and who will be confident enough to give Nalah the training and love that she needs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" data-attachment-id=\"417354\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.orlandoweekly.com\/news\/gimme-shelter\/adoptable-dog-nalah-is-a-big-girl-with-a-big-heart\/attachment\/nala-a587478-tyson-a587480-king-a587479-34\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.orlandoweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Nala-A587478-Tyson-A587480-King-A587479-34.jpg?fit=1000%2C667&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1000,667\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Nala-A587478-Tyson-A587480-King-A587479\u201334\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Nalah (A587478)&lt;\/p&gt;&#10;\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.orlandoweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Nala-A587478-Tyson-A587480-King-A587479-34.jpg?fit=780%2C520&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Nala-A587478-Tyson-A587480-King-A587479-34.jpg\" alt=\"Orange County Animal Services Nalah\" class=\"wp-image-417354\"  \/>Nalah (A587478) Credit: Orange County Animal Services<\/p>\n<p>Orange County Animal Services is located at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando, near the Mall at Millenia.
