About Ulani

Ulani is an extremely faithful and affectionate dog who loves being around her people. She enjoys cuddles and hugs and thrives in a home where she can be part of the family’s daily activities. While she has plenty of energy and loves to play, she is also very well-behaved in the home and knows how to settle down. Ulani is great with young children and is generally calm around them, though she may get excited when they do. She is eager to please but can be a little stubborn at times, making training a fun and rewarding experience with the right motivation.

Where I grew up

Ulani was raised in a household with two mature adults. She has been exposed to both home and office environments, settling well when working from home and comfortably accompanying her person to an office setting. She also currently shares a home with another dog, and while their play can be boisterous, it is always friendly and good-natured.

A good fit for me is...

Ulani would thrive in a loving family home, whether with a single person, couple, or family with children of any age. She would do well in a household that can provide her with both affection and structure, as she responds well to clear boundaries. A family that enjoys outdoor activities and can provide her with plenty of playtime and exercise would be ideal.

My personality traits

  • Loyal & Affectionate: Ulani forms strong bonds with her people and loves to be close to them.
  • Playful & Energetic: She enjoys playing, running, and interacting with other dogs and people.
  • Well-Behaved at Home: She understands boundaries, is calm indoors, and crates well at night. During the day, she prefers freedom but will crate for short periods with encouragement.
  • Good with Visitors: Ulani gets excited when greeting new people but calms down quickly.
  • Great with Kids: She is generally gentle and calm around children, though she may mirror their excitement.
  • Noise-Resilient: She isn’t overly bothered by loud sounds and is comfortable being on her own, though she hasn’t been left alone for long periods.
  • Curious & Playful: Loves small sticks, straw, grass, and leaves, though not as much as when she was younger.
  • Training Considerations: Can be cautious around unfamiliar objects and tight spaces. Occasionally “stalls” on walks but responds well to high-value treats. She is a fast walker and may pull on a leash but walks better with a head collar.
  • Alert but Not Reactive: May bark at the doorbell or door knock and can briefly jump in excitement when greeting visitors.
  • Good Traveler: Rides well in the car but sometimes needs encouragement to get in.

Ulani is a wonderful, devoted companion looking for a loving home that will appreciate her affectionate and playful nature
