My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Look. We're not kidding when we tell you that Ursula is funniest dog in the history of dogs. So. Funny! One of her hosts couldn't find her in her house for a few minutes and discovered she had crawled under the couch! Whether she's under the couch or perched on the back like a cat, you'll be filling your days with belly laughs with Ursula's antics!

A parvo survivor, it's understandable Ursula had a hard start at life. She may have missed out on some of her initial socialization steps, so new places and new people can make her a little bit nervous. She spent many weeks attending Every Dog Behavior and Training classes where she made fast friends with her group instructor and even learned how to confidently enter a room. We're so proud of her progress and you'll see that confidence in the comfort of a home. Try to not take her barks at face value-we promise she'll be your best friend if you can get past her not-so-great initial impression.

Ursula LOVES playing in the yard! Whether she's making her own games up (if I drop this ball off the chair, will the human pick it up?) or playing in her own pool, she knows how keep herself entertained while humoring her humans.

No issues with being in a crate or home alone for a typical work day, we've recently discovered Ursula's favorite snack-crunchy carrots! What a comedian!

If you've already fallen in love with her spotted belly and her personality filled eyeybrow, you'll be happy to know she is really that cute. You can check out more of her fun lovin' personality on her perfectly curated instagram @adoptursula before setting up a meeting!
