BEND,Ore. (AP) — Sometimes even a hero needs a makeover.

Nala is a lab-pit bull mix who gained a measure of fame last December after she led a Humane Society of Redmond, Ore., volunteer dog walker to a ditch where another dog was struggling to survive.

But Nala has been at the central Oregon shelter for about a year now. So on Wednesday, KTVZ says she got what the shelter calls her “extreme dog makeover” — a bath, trim and pedicure donated by a local groomer. A local portrait photographer took professional photos of Nala to be posted on her new Facebook fan page called Nala Needs a Home.

Shelter staffers describe Nala as great with people but discriminating with other dogs.
