Story
Meet Tulip. This adorable little pup was found wandering as a stray and turned into a county shelter in York, SC. That would turn out to be her lucky day. On intake, she caught the eye of a vet tech at the shelter, Sonya, who contacted Worthy Dog on Tulip’s behalf and offered to foster her. We said yes and within days, lucky little Tulip was sprung from the shelter and fortunate to get a wonderful foster home. Sonia is fostering Tulip with her pack of 4 pups and two cats, and the pups are mostly smaller in size with a broad range of ages and energy levels. Tulip easily integrated into her pack and immediately wanted all the dogs and cats to be her friends. Some dogs took a bit longer than others to accept her, but she’s officially in now and has shown great doggie skills. She plays very submissively and respectfully, and while we think Tulip is confident enough to be fine as an only dog, she would love a playmate. Sonya describes Tulip as a very sweet, social, and gentle pup. She has wonderful people skills and loves every person and dog she meets. We think she’d be great with kids and would see them as playmates and cuddle buddies. She has no issues being left home alone and has learned how to entertain herself. She will happily take a toy to her dog bed and play with it — Nyla Bones and chew toys will keep her distracted for hours. But if you call her, she will come running to play or snuggle with you. She’s a very nice balance of independent and affectionate. Tulip has spent the past month learning the rules of home life. She is crate-trained and goes right in when told, and she's getting meals in her crate to make it a positive place. She is mostly housetrained but needs to go out first thing in the morning. She tries very hard to alert people when she needs to go outside. She does pretty well on leash walks but will still pull, so a little practice is in order. We think Tulip would fit best in a moderately active home and would love a playmate. She needs her daily walks and playtime and has typical adolescent energy with moments of energy spikes, but overall she is a pretty chill little girl. This adorable pup will be coming to N. VA in early September. Apply today to learn more and welcome her home.
