About Tulane

Tulane is a shepherd mix who thrives in a calm, loving home. Give him safety and patience, and he’ll reward you by melting into your side—this dog would rather be cuddled than anywhere else. When Tulane gets anxious, you’ll often find him tucked into his favorite spot, sandwiched between throw pillows on the couch, creating a soft little haven of his own. He does well taking his daily mental health medication right with his breakfast, which helps him feel secure and lessens his worries. Tulane has solid house manners: he’s potty trained and crate trained, and you won’t find him bolting out the door. He likes other dogs but really prefers mellow company or being someone’s one and only. Tulane lives with patellar luxation, a manageable knee issue that just means long walks aren’t for him—luckily, he’s a homebody who’d rather skip the leash altogether. If you want an affectionate, deeply loyal companion who wants to be wherever you are, Tulane is waiting. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
