History: Tulip is more than just a dog—she's a quiet kind of miracle. This 1-year-old bulldog mix came into rescue from an overcrowded shelter, where her future was uncertain. Born both blind and deaf, Tulip experiences the world in her own unique way, relying on touch, scent, and the kindness of the people around her to navigate each day.
Despite the challenges she's faced, Tulip is gentle, resilient, and full of heart. Her disability doesn’t define her—it simply adds to the strength of her story. She's learning how to trust, how to feel safe, and how to love in a world that looks and sounds different to her than it does to most.
Every soft bed, every calm hand, and every moment of quiet patience means the world to Tulip. She thrives with a routine, gentle guidance, and lots of love. Watching her learn and adapt is nothing short of inspiring.
Tulip is a reminder that resilience comes in all shapes and sizes—and that even the quietest dogs have the most powerful stories to tell.
A Note from the Foster: She can see light and contrasts. We don't think she can see much more than that. She can hear and is startled by loud noises. She does not seem able to determine the direction of noises. This causes her to be most comfortable in familar spaces. She is very comfortable walking in the yard on a leash or wandering the fenced in yard off leash and has determined land marks in the yard that she uses to navigate the yard. She is very skittish of walking on a leash outside the familiar back yard.
Adoption Fee: $750 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
