Story
Say hello to Tulsa, a lovable 1.5-year-old, 40-lb Australian Kelpie mix who's ready to find her forever family! Tulsa is the definition of a well-rounded, affectionate, and adaptable companion.
Tulsa is living the dream with her foster family, which includes a 1-year-old baby (who adores feeding her by hand), a 13-year-old cat, an 85-lb male pit mix, a smaller one-eyed doggy sibling, her foster mom, and her foster dad. Tulsa coexists happily with everyone in an apartment—no separations needed!
Did we mention Tulsa is phenomenal with children? She's gentle, patient, and loves being part of a family. Tulsa gets along wonderfully with other dogs, both on- and off-leash, and even respects her feline roommate. Plus, she's super affectionate: She adores belly rubs, gives her paw for treats (sometimes both paws!), and is happiest when she's by your side. While she sleeps peacefully through the night without needing cuddles, she’s always eager for hugs during the day!
Tulsa is an energetic pup, and loves running, going for walks, and playing fetch (squeaky balls are a plus!), though she’s still on the hunt for her favorite toy. She’s also a great running partner! She would be an ideal pet for an active home. She’s housebroken, crate-trained, and doesn’t chew on shoes, furniture, or baby toys. Like most dogs, she might sneak a bite of unattended food, but her manners are otherwise impeccable.
Tulsa is still fine-tuning her leash skills and seems to do best with a harness, but she's happy to walk with anyone. She rarely barks—maybe twice a week when she’s super excited—and is an all-around quiet and calm pup.
Tulsa is the ultimate family dog or the perfect match for an individual looking for an affectionate, energetic, and loyal companion. If you’re looking for a loving, gentle, and playful pup to complete your family, Tulsa is the one for you!
Tulsa is currently being fostered in Long Island City. Her adoption fee is $500.
To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt
All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.
For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.
We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.
