At just under a year old and 36 pounds, Sula is a sweet, sensitive soul who’s still discovering that the world can be kind. She was surrendered by her previous owner, who noted her stranger-danger tendencies, but beneath her timid exterior is a dog eager to connect—with a little time and a lot of patience. Now safe in a shelter that understands her needs, Sula is slowly beginning to blossom.
Why She’s the Ultimate Gentle Soul in Progress
🐾 Soft, sensitive, and gentle—just needs a little extra reassurance
🎾 Loves quiet games of fetch and exploring her surroundings
🦴 Takes treats with a tender touch and waits patiently
🐶 Calm and respectful in playgroups—prefers mellow canine companions
🧠 Highly observant and eager to learn in a low-stress environment
What She’s Looking For
✔️ A calm, quiet home with experienced adopters who understand fearful or shy dogs
✔️ A patient person who allows her to set the pace
✔️ A predictable routine and safe spaces to decompress
✔️ Possibly a gentle dog companion to help boost her confidence
Sula may not be the first dog to run to the kennel gate—but for the right person, she’ll be the most rewarding friend you’ll ever meet. If you believe in letting love take its time, Sula just might be your perfect match. She’s waiting for someone to see the beauty in going slow—and the loyalty that follows. 💛
