My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

From Tragedy to Hope — Meet Chula

Currently in Texas | Transport Available
Born: Senior | âš–ï¸ Weight: 61.2 lbs
Special Needs: Daily thyroid meds
Adoption Fee: $200 (or $300 if adopted with her best friend, Chance)
Apply: www.adoggie4you.org

One minute, Chula was living the dream—riding in her dad’s truck, snoozing beside his recliner, and sharing the bed with her brother.
Then, everything changed.

Her dad passed away unexpectedly, and for three long days, Chula stood guard beside him, confused and heartbroken. Strangers broke in, and in her fear, Chula did what any loyal dog would—tried to protect the only home she'd ever known. What followed was terrifying: a catchpole, a loud kennel, and separation from her brother, Booger.

Chula's world fell apart. But her journey didn’t end there.

When our team finally brought Chula and Booger to the rescue, they were deeply traumatized. For months, Chula only trusted one person—Pat—who she knew from her previous life. Slowly, she began to open up, and her healing truly began when she was introduced to Chance, another long-time resident who had also faced a tough life. Together, they brought each other back to life.

Now, Chula runs and plays, walks on leash, and enjoys meeting new people—on her own terms. Her friendship with Chance has given her a second chance.

Why Chula Will Steal Your Heart:

Beautiful Shar Pei/Lab mix with soulful eyes
House-trained and tidy—never soils her kennel
Loves toys, playtime, and curling up to watch TV
Gets along with other respectful dogs, especially larger ones
Would thrive in a calm home with a fenced yard
Needs an experienced, patient adopter who will let her bloom
Takes thyroid pills twice daily (easy to manage)

Chula is looking for a quiet, loving home—ideally with Chance, but she would also thrive with another friendly companion dog. She's not suited for homes with small children, cats, or tiny dogs due to her past and her cautious nature.

âœ¨ Chula has spent enough time waiting. Now she’s ready to be someone’s loyal companion again—could it be you?

Transport Available to WA, OR, Midwest, and East Coast (excluding RI & MA)
Transport Fee: $225 (if applicable)

âž¡ï¸ Apply now at www.adoggie4you.org and let Chula know what it feels like to be truly home.

Additional adoption info

Adoption application is required. Applications are checked by contacting references and veterinarians of those with pets to ensure our pups go to the best homes possible. A picture of your home or yard may be requested

All dogs and puppies are fully vetted prior to adoption (spay/neuter, rabies, 3 DHPP, bordetella, heartworm test/treat if positive) and are micro-chipped.

Our fees start at $200, transport out of Texas is arranged by us and is generally an additional $200.
We work hard to place dogs into the right families, but sometimes we realize the fit isn't quite working out for the adopter or the pet. Our contract requires if an adoption does not work out the dog is to be returned to us. We need at least two weeks notice.
