About Azula

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Meet Azula! This extra-large girl is just as sweet as she is big. Azula dreams of being a lap dog, even though she may tower above you. She has the heart of a gentle giant and some impressively large paws! Her temperament is relaxed, but she still loves to jump around and be goofy, especially during playtime. With her on watch, you'll have an excellent alarm system and burglary deterrent included! Azula gets along wonderfully with other dogs, cats, small animals, and children. For her safety and theirs, older children are recommended as her size and playful energy sometimes result in her knocking down the little ones. She currently lives peacefully with both a five-year-old and a two-year-old but frequently bowls them over just due to her height. She's accustomed to a fenced backyard and will thrive with this setup for daily exercise. She does need a strong handler to help improve her leash manners, but she already knows a handful of commands (sit, lay down, paw/other paw) and is crate/area trained. Azula is approximately three years old, spayed, and has undergone a gastropexy laparoscopically. Her vaccines and preventatives are all up to date, and she's also microchipped. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
