Meet Tula Baloola! This joyful nearly four-year-old Boxer/Pit Bull Terrier mix is currently in Amherst, MA. With her lively spirit, sleek black coat, and striking white chest patch, every day feels like a celebration with Tula around. Tula is a medium-sized girl weighing about 50 pounds, embodying an athletic bounce that showcases her love for movement, connection, and, most importantly, fun with her favorite people. Her greetings are unforgettable, filled with full-body tail wags, happy wiggles, and an enthusiastic 'arrrooooo'—it’s as if she can’t contain her excitement to see you! Playing fetch is high on Tula's list of favorite activities, followed by cozy snuggles with her humans. After a fulfilling day of walks, play, and learning, she loves to curl up beside you for a restful sleep, often sharing soft snores that sound like the sweetest lullaby. Smart, attentive, and eager to learn with positive reinforcement, Tula already knows commands like sit, down, and leave it. Training sessions are a joy, thanks to her excellent recall and willingness to engage. This velcro-style affectionate dog loves being near her family, whether embarking on adventures or just relaxing at home. Tula is friendly with strangers, wonderful with children, and enjoys the company of other dogs. Recently, she thrived while staying with an experienced dog sitter, spending time with both dogs and kittens. While she shows interest in being friends with cats, she may need a little guidance to refine her social skills. With thoughtful introductions, she can coexist peacefully with other animals, making her an ideal fit for an active, caring family. Though Tula can be reactive when separated from other dogs by barriers, she’s demonstrated that with management and ongoing positive reinforcement, she’s learning calmer ways to handle those moments. Her playful energy, big heart, and knack for cheerful conversations create laughter and warmth wherever she goes.
