My story

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

Adoption Area: East Tennessee

Tula Pink’s Requirements

-Adult-only home
-Someone home part of the day
-No access to large flights of stairs
-Any resident dogs must be small and gentle

Tula Pink (Tutu for short) is a 5-year-old, 6 and 1/2 pound Chihuahua with a calm, loving personality and a shiny, beautiful chocolate-brown coat that always gets compliments. She is incredibly sweet, gentle, and easy to love, and she fits wonderfully into a peaceful home environment.

Tula was born hydrocephalic, so she may be considered special needs, but she is not on any medication and currently enjoys a wonderful quality of life. While her condition could change in the future, she is stable, comfortable, and thriving right now.

She sometimes has trouble telling where sounds are coming from and has limited night vision, so her foster mom uses a flashlight to help her navigate the yard at night. She also had luxating patella surgery on her left knee and has recovered well.

Tula is doing well with her house training. She will go potty outside in the yard or use a pee pad indoors. Like many small dogs, she can have accidents if she is not kept on a consistent schedule, so routine is important for her success.

She enjoys going outside to sniff and explore the yard. She’s learning to walk on a leash and does well—especially when she can choose the direction. She also gets along nicely with the small, gentle dogs and cats in her foster home.

At night, Tula sleeps perfectly in her crate, settling in without any issues. Since she doesn’t understand stairs, her new home will need to block off or avoid staircases for her safety.

Tula Pink is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and spayed.

Her adoption fee is $175.00.

Tula is a loving, quiet little dog who will bring warmth and companionship to a patient, understanding home.
