Kula

My story

Hi. I’m Kula _ The Purest of Sunshine. I’m 4 years old, I weigh about 32 pounds, and yes — I know — I’m a big girl. But I’m a HAPPY big girl, and honestly? That’s my entire personality. If happiness were a sport, I’d be the fucking cheerleader for the Dallas Cowboys — full volume, full commitment, zero shame. I don’t walk into a room. I burst into it! My Vibe I love every single dog I meet. Big dogs. Little dogs. Dogs with weird energy. Dogs with no energy. I love them all. I don’t have an aggressive bone in my body, I don’t resource guard, and if another dog comes at me sideways, I just… go the other way. Why ruin a good day? My happiness is explosive. It leaks out of my eyes. It’s constant. I’m the sunshine that never turns to night — the kind that wakes everyone up and says, “HEY! LIFE IS HAPPENING!” I play hard — bulldog-style, and take super long naps! Well Mo works me a bit to (you know the weight thing) It can look intense if you don’t know me, but it’s not aggression. It’s joy. It’s full-body excitement. I need a home that understands that big energy isn’t bad energy — it’s just me being me. A Little About My Past I was found as a stray in a field (it’s always a field) and pulled from a Southern California shelter, so my backstory is a bit of a mystery. Sometimes when you go to pet me, I might crouch for a second — like I’m not totally sure what’s coming — so maybe my past wasn’t always kind. But here’s the thing: I didn’t let that steal my joy. My Daily Life I’m potty trained and I take treats very gently (don’t let the chaos fool you — I have manners). I love food, but when I first came into rescue it took me a minute to adjust to a schedule. Now? I’m dialed in. I do okay in the car and I’m getting better with consistency — it’s something I’ll grow into with time and routine. I also love going for walks, but I’m a bulldog, so I like to take breaks in between. Let me catch my breath, admire the scenery, soak up compliments… then we keep going. Health & Care I had kennel cough when I first arrived, but I healed up beautifully. The vet says I’m super healthy overall. I have some mild skin stuff that’s easily managed with baths, and my ears needed some TLC when I got here — but with antibiotics and regular cleaning, they’re doing great. Also… I LOVE when you clean my face and wrinkles. When you’re done, I parade around like I just left a spa. Confidence matters. Oh — and about my weight: I’ve already lost about 5 pounds in rescue, and I could safely lose a couple more. My future family will need to keep an eye on that so I can stay feeling my best and keep up with my cheerleader lifestyle. What I’m Looking For I need a home with big energy, big love, and big joy. A family that laughs at zoomies, understands bulldog play, and wants a dog who wakes up every day ready to celebrate life like it’s game day. I am the sunshine that hits your face in the morning and refuses to leave. I am joy with four legs. I am Kula — and I’m ready to bring the hype to my forever home. You don’t need a rose quartz crystal to carry around when you have me in your life!
