My story

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

Meet Puka Puka 🐾
Puka Puka is a beautiful blonde girl with soft, floppy ears, a sharp mind, and a deeply loyal heart. She is very people-focused and forms strong bonds with her person. Out of all the puppies, she is the one who chooses closeness—curling up on the couch for naps and cuddles rather than settling on a dog bed.

She is crate trained at night, confidently uses a doggie door, and thrives with routine and structure. Puka Puka loves to chew and will need appropriate outlets such as bones and durable toys to keep her happy and engaged. She is intelligent, observant, and enjoys having clear expectations.

Puka Puka is selective with dogs. While she plays with her siblings, she has shown some early resource guarding behaviors around food and high-value treats and may growl if other dogs approach during these times. She can also become jealous when sharing attention, especially in close spaces like the couch. She has not been aggressive, but she communicates her boundaries clearly. Because of this, she would be happiest as an only dog in an adult household where she can receive focused, one-on-one attention.

With the right match—an experienced, dog-savvy adopter who values companionship, consistency, and structure—Puka Puka has the potential to be an incredibly devoted, affectionate, and loyal best friend.

More about this shelter

Soul Dog is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue organization founded with the mission to spay/neuter and protect animals. We are currently a small group of committed volunteers making a difference in the life of one animal at a time. As an all volunteer administration, all donations made to Soul Dog go directly to improving the health of the pets that share our lives.

Soul Dog is proactive in animal welfare advancing the need for spaying and neutering our pets to reduce overpopulation. We travel to rural communities on Native American reservations, where spaying and neutering will only happen if it is nearly free or very convenient. Soul Dog works with volunteer veterinarians to provide the spaying and neutering service at no cost to the public. Donations are used to defray the costs associated with medications, supplies, and the operating cost for clinics.
