Nula is an incredibly sweet pup, but she is unfortunately terrified of men. We don't know what may have happened in her previous life to have caused this fear, but she would prefer to go to a home either with just women or with someone who's incredibly patient about earning her trust.
Once she feels safe, Nula is a total love bug. She adores cuddling, sleeping under the covers, and starting her mornings upside down asking for belly rubs. She's always happy, loves giving affection, and happily soaks it right back up.
Her favorite activity is playing with toys! She'll happily fetch and bring them back for more playtime. Her foster mom will send her favorites with her. Nula is currently fostered with her sister and they get along very well, but they do not need to be adopted together.
Food? Nula isn't picky at all-she'll happily eat whatever you offer and loves all treats. She's also great on car rides. She hasn't had much exposure to other dogs and can react fearfully, so she'll need a patient adopter to help her work through that. She enjoys visitors but can be nervous around loud or boisterous children, so a home without young kids is recommended.
Nula is walked daily by her foster mom and continues to work on her outdoor manners. Potty training is going very well-she's about 75%% trained to use the doggy door and will also use a potty pad if available.
Bird watching is her favorite outdoor hobby, and she'll definitely let you know when seagulls land on your deck. She'll even help the neighbors know when the trash or UPS drivers are coming!
All in all, Nula is a joyful pup with a big personality. With a little patience and understanding, she'll make an incredible companion and family member.

Umbrella of Hope does not have any strict rules on ages of children because all children are different, but our best approximation is that this animal would do best with children over the age of 5
Umbrella of Hope is an all-volunteer, donation-run, non-profit animal rescue based out of Pittsburg, CA that rescues animals from local shelters, places them in private foster homes, provides them with needed medical care and then finds them new homes.
Also, ask us about our seniors for seniors program, where we adopt animals 5 years or older to qualified homes with a $5 donation as an adoption fee. All animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and given any additional treatments (dental work, bloodwork etc) as recommended by our vet.
Adoptions to veterans of the US Armed Services are ALWAYS free to thank you for your service.
We thank Well Pet Vet Clinic for providing most of our veterinary services and give a special thanks to volunteer photographers Tanya, Barbara, Kristy, Christine, Teressa and Natalie.
