Hi everyone, I am urgently seeking a new home for Tula.
Hi everyone, miss Tula is in need of a loving, experienced home. She just turned 1 in november, and due to personal circumstances I am unable to keep her. She was rescued at 3.5 months old and she has been lovingly handled her whole life. I have also worked with two positive reinforcement based trainers whom she has excelled with.
Tula is incredibly intelligent and responds well to training. She loves other dogs and people and is incredibly social. Due to her age, breed, and temperament she is still quite mouthy but with training and proper stimulation, it is manageable. She is leash reactive (excitement based) but has been making improvements.
Please reach out for more information and if interested! My main priority is finding the right placement for her.
