Story
Hi, I’m Puli… yes, that Puli—the little shadow you didn’t know you needed. 🐾 My story didn’t start out very cozy. I was left behind in a rural area with my three siblings, just a tiny pup trying to figure out the world. Then a kind 78-year-old lady found us and took us in. She didn’t have to—but she did. She kept us safe and loved while she searched for someone who could help. That’s how The Buford Project Rescue found me, and the rest is slowly turning into a much happier tail (get it?). I got my name from my first foster mom, Nina. She says I remind her of her mom’s dog—a Puli from long ago. I may be a lot smaller, but she says I have that same big, devoted heart. I don’t fully know what that means… but I do know I love hard. I’m not really a “do things alone” kind of girl. If there’s another dog nearby, that’s where I’ll be. I’ll even leave my own food just to eat next to a friend—not because I want theirs, but because together is better. Always. I love curling up in a cozy pile of pups, running beside them, and just being part of the pack. There’s also a cat here. I’ve decided it’s my personal mission to keep that cat very clean. The cat does not agree with this mission… but I remain committed. I’m playful too—give me a plastic lid (cottage cheese lids are a favorite) and I’m entertained for ages. Simple joys, you know? At night, I sleep in the den on my dog bed, usually on my back like I’ve had the longest day ever (being adorable is exhausting). Sometimes I stretch with my head down, legs way out, and my little butt up in the air—it’s a whole pose. And if you’re petting me? Please don’t stop. I’ll gently tap you with my cold nose just to remind you… more, please. I’m affectionate, loyal, and happiest when I’m not alone. If you’re looking for a constant companion—one who will follow you, snuggle close, and love you with her whole heart—I might just be your girl.

Story
🐾Hi there… my name is Pokey. I didn’t pick that name myself, but I guess it kind of stuck. The nice lady who found me gave it to me because I was always the one trailing behind my three siblings. We were out in a really rural part of Arkansas, just trying to figure things out after being left on our own. It was scary, but she made sure we were safe. At first, she thought I was just a little slow… but the truth is, I think I just felt a bit left out. My siblings didn’t always make space for me, and my brother could be kind of hard on me. Sometimes I’d wander off and spend time down the road at a neighbor’s house, just looking for a little peace and kindness. That sweet lady didn’t know how she was going to help all of us, but she didn’t give up. She reached out to The Buford Project Rescue, and they stepped in to give me a chance. I’m really glad she did. Right now, I’m settling into my foster home and taking some time to decompress. Everything is still pretty new to me, so my friends are still getting to know all the little things that make me me. But I can tell you this—I’m a gentle soul. I get along great with other dogs, and I’ve already claimed my favorite chair in the house (I think it fits me pretty perfectly). It’s my safe spot, and I love curling up there after a day of just… learning how to be a dog again. Oh—and I’m only about 33 pounds, so I’m the perfect smaller size and won’t be getting any bigger. Easy to scoop up if I need a little extra reassurance. And I’ve been told I have the cutest little tail—it curls right up and kind of does its own happy thing. I may have been the one “lagging behind” before, but I think I was just waiting for someone to notice me… to choose me.
