Meet Tulip (Special Needs)
Status: Fostered
Estimated Age: 3-4 Years
Estimated Weight: 25 Pounds
SEE VIDEO: Tulip Playing Catch
UPDATE - 10 JULY 2024: Tulip continues to provide us with lots of love & entertainment. She loves to eat, play with toys, and sniff everything on walks. She’s such a sweetheart and lovey-dovey doggie! Always ready for tummy rubs! She loves to lounge and sleep in a dog bed (not interested in the couch or beds yet), and she is a super-counter-surfer! She’ll make sure you keep your counters clean! Totally house trained (via doggy-door & routine)!
UPDATE - 6 JUNE 2024 (from foster family): What a wonderful tripod trooper! Tulip is getting better each day at beagle-ing again! She loves food and can counter-surf with the best of them! She even eats green beans! Which is good for her, it’ll help keep her weight down because she is always happy to eat! She enjoys hanging out with her beagle friends on the sunny deck, in the backyard, and in her doggie bed. And she is totally house trained! Tulip has learned the deck stairs but has not tried the inside stairs yet (possibly too steep). She’s a real sweetheart and very chill.
Check out this video of 3-legged Tulip racing around with a friend and having no trouble with deck stairs: Tulip the Tripod Wonder
UPDATE - 3 JUNE 2024: Poor Tulip ended up having to go through surgery to remove the leg that she was dragging around. What a trooper! She now only has three legs but is getting around just fine. She is in a foster home and dances for meals! Tulip will be joining us at our June 6th Adoption Day if you want to come meet this special girl.
NEW - 2 MARCH 2024: Tulip is a friendly beagle girl who is good with other dogs. She has an old shoulder injury and a limp but gets around okay. We will have her further evaluated by our vet. Tulip was a stray at the Madison County Animal Shelter, so her history is unknown. She will be available soon.
Questions?
Q: Can you tell me more about a specific dog? Is s/he good with kids / housetrained / good with cats/ etc?
A: What we know is in the write up. Our knowledge about any dog that is not in a foster homes is limited. Once approved, our adoption coordinators will work with you to match you with the right dog.
Q: Can I meet a specific dog?
A: We’re sorry, but you must be an approved adopter to meet our dogs. Pre-pandemic, dogs could be met at adoption days, but you still had to be approved to adopt from an adoption day.
Q: How can I adopt a specific dog?
A: You must submit an adoption application and be approved to adopt. You can do that under Adopt – you can also learn about the adoption process there.. It will take about two weeks for an adoption coordinator to get in touch with you. Please keep in mind that dogs that are available now may be adopted in the meantime. But we are always getting new dogs. You can see them on our website.
Q: Can I add another dog to the list on my application?
A: We don’t hold you to the dogs you listed on your application. It gives us an idea of what you are looking for. Plus it will let us know if someone is interested in one of our special needs / hard to place dogs.
Q: I indicated that I was interested in a specific dog on my application, but I see that s/he has been adopted. What happened?
A: We do not hold dogs. Applicants in the queue before you are being approved and may adopt the dog you are interested in before you are approved. But we are always getting new dogs in and your adoption coordinator will help you find the perfect match.
