About Zz Tula

Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now! Meet Tula, a lively and affectionate 3-year-old boxer/pit bull mix whose joyful spirit and love for people truly shine. If you are searching for a dog who will be both your high-energy adventure partner and your devoted snuggle buddy, she might be the perfect fit. Tula enthusiastically greets every day (and her people) with wiggly excitement and will gladly serenade you with her signature "arrrooooo!" The ideal home for Tula is an active individual or family who enjoys engaging walks, playtime, and plenty of fun mental stimulation. After a day of excitement, she transforms into a dedicated spooner, curling up close at night, her occasional snoring serving as comforting white noise. Tula is eager to please, attentive, and very trainable, making her an excellent choice for first-time dog owners who can provide consistent structure. While she adores people and is gentle with children, she has a strong prey drive and must be the only pet, as she is not safe with cats or small animals. Tula’s rehoming is only due to incompatibility with cats—she has no history of aggression toward people and no bite history. With her vaccinations up to date, spayed/neutered, and ready to love, Tula awaits the right match for her enthusiastic heart. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
