Tula Baloola

Meet Tula Baloola!

Tula is a joyful almost four-year-old Boxer/American Pitbull Terrier mix whose lively spirit and sleek black coat with a bright white chest patch make every day feel like a celebration. This medium-sized girl, weighing about 50 pounds, carries herself with an athletic bounce, embodying a dog who loves movement, connection, and fun with her favorite people. Her greeting style is unforgettable, featuring full-body tail wags, happy wiggles, and an enthusiastic little "arrrooooo" that sounds like she simply must tell you how excited she is to see you!

Playtime is high on Tula's list of favorite activities, especially a good game of fetch followed by snuggles close to her favorite human. After a day filled with walks, play, and learning opportunities, she happily curls up beside her person for cozy rest, sometimes sharing soft snores that sound like the sweetest white noise. Tula is smart, attentive, and eager to learn with positive reinforcement. She already knows sit, down, leave it, focus, and has excellent recall, which makes training sessions fun and rewarding for everyone involved. Her "velcro" style affection means she loves staying close to her people, whether that means joining a car ride, heading out on an adventure, or just relaxing at home.

Tula is friendly with strangers, wonderful with children, and enjoys the company of other dogs. She recently spent several days with an experienced dog sitter who cares for multiple dogs and kittens, and she did very well with both. The sitter observed that Tula appears interested in being friends with cats and may simply lack feline social skills rather than having any desire to harm them. With thoughtful introductions and guidance, Tula has shown encouraging signs that she can peacefully coexist with other animals.

Ideal Home

Tula would thrive in a caring environment with an active individual or family who enjoys daily adventures.

Ongoing Health

Tula is a healthy girl with no specific ongoing health conditions to report.

Training & Support

Tula can sometimes become reactive when separated from other dogs by barriers, particularly when dogs pass by a chain link fence. In those moments, her excitement and frustration can bubble over, and she has occasionally redirected that energy toward the other resident dog. The interactions have not caused injury, and the other dog has responded with appropriate communication, helping guide those moments. With thoughtful management and continued positive reinforcement, Tula continues learning calmer ways to handle these situations. Despite these occasional moments of frustration around barriers, Tula has demonstrated that she can do very well with other dogs in appropriate settings and enjoys having canine companions around her.
