puli

Hi, I’m Puli… yes, that Puli—the little shadow you didn’t know you needed. 🐾

My story didn’t start out very cozy. I was left behind in a rural area with my three siblings, just a tiny pup trying to figure out the world. Then a kind 78-year-old lady found us and took us in. She didn’t have to—but she did. She kept us safe and loved while she searched for someone who could help. That’s how The Buford Project Rescue found me, and the rest is slowly turning into a much happier tail (get it?).

I got my name from my first foster mom, Nina. She says I remind her of her mom’s dog—a Puli from long ago. I may be a lot smaller, but she says I have that same big, devoted heart. I don’t fully know what that means… but I do know I love hard.

I’m not really a “do things alone” kind of girl. If there’s another dog nearby, that’s where I’ll be. I’ll even leave my own food just to eat next to a friend—not because I want theirs, but because together is better. Always. I love curling up in a cozy pile of pups, running beside them, and just being part of the pack.

There’s also a cat here. I’ve decided it’s my personal mission to keep that cat very clean. The cat does not agree with this mission… but I remain committed.

I’m playful too—give me a plastic lid (cottage cheese lids are a favorite) and I’m entertained for ages. Simple joys, you know?

At night, I sleep in the den on my dog bed, usually on my back like I’ve had the longest day ever (being adorable is exhausting). Sometimes I stretch with my head down, legs way out, and my little butt up in the air—it’s a whole pose.

And if you’re petting me? Please don’t stop. I’ll gently tap you with my cold nose just to remind you… more, please.

I’m affectionate, loyal, and happiest when I’m not alone. If you’re looking for a constant companion—one who will follow you, snuggle close, and love you with her whole heart—I might just be your girl.
