What we know: Transferred from Fresca Fund in Fort Worth, Texas at approximately 8 months old. Single pup, no littermates.
From the foster: Meet Tulip! 🌷
With her mismatched blue and brown eyes and adorable radar ears, Tulip turns heads wherever she goes, but it's her sweet personality that's the real star of the show.
Like many rescue dogs, Tulip is still learning that the world is a safe place. She started life as a stray and recently experienced being adopted and returned, so she needs a family that understands rescue dogs don't settle in overnight. New environments can feel overwhelming at first, but with patience, routine, and reassurance, she grows more confident every day.
Tulip is a smart, food-motivated, high-energy girl who loves having a job to do. Her newest obsession is the flirt pole. It's hands-down her favorite game and a fantastic way to burn off puppy energy. She also loves puzzle feeders and enrichment activities that keep her busy brain engaged. Give this girl something fun to do, and she's one happy pup.
Neighborhood strolls and park outings are some of Tulip's favorite things. She walks beautifully on leash and is a joy to take out and about. Because everything is still a bit new to her, she's learning that joggers, strollers, cyclists, and other everyday sights aren't scary, and she gets braver with every walk. To help her continue building confidence, I take her along to the coffee shop, where she's discovering that meeting new people can actually be pretty wonderful.
Tulip bonds deeply with her humans and loves being part of the action. Because of that, she does have some separation anxiety and we're still working on crate training. Being left alone can be hard for her right now, and she may protest at first, but she is making progress every day. A family willing to continue helping her learn that alone time is safe will set her up for success. At night, however, she is an angel. She sleeps quietly through the entire night in her crate when it's kept in the bedroom with her people nearby.
Tulip is also still polishing her house-training skills. Like many young dogs adjusting to a new routine, she may have the occasional accident while she learns the rules of her new home, but consistency, supervision, and patience go a long way with her. With scheduled potty breaks throughout the day, accidents are now minimal. She responds beautifully to praise, so every successful potty break outside earns lots of celebration and a tasty reward. She'll simply need a family willing to continue that positive routine as she settles in.
Like any growing puppy, Tulip loves to chew. Fortunately, she's easily redirected to a bully stick, chew toy, or enrichment activity and is learning what belongs to her and what doesn't.
Due to her enthusiasm for chasing squirrels and backyard bunnies, Tulip would do best in a home without cats. She absolutely loves playing with other dogs and adores my resident pup. They spend their days wrestling, playing tug-of-war, and zooming around the garden together. She would likely enjoy having a confident canine companion to play with and learn from.
Tulip isn't looking for a perfect family, just a committed one that's willing to give her the time, patience, and understanding that every rescue dog deserves. In return, you'll get a loyal, affectionate, fun-loving companion who will reward your investment with endless love and devotion.
