Tugaloo is a young, curious girl with a heart full of love and a nose for adventure. She's friendly with other dogs, brave in new situations, and full of patient, gentle energy. Her unique merle freckles and goofy grin only add to her charm, and she's working hard on her leash skills-gaining confidence every day! But Tugaloo's story isn't just about playtime and belly rubs-she's also a survivor. As a puppy, she was found by animal control locked in a freezer. Against all odds, she survived and later found a loving home. Sadly, she was recently returned when her adopter was diagnosed with cancer and could no longer care for her. Now, Tugaloo needs a fresh start - and she can't get there without your help. She's looking to catch a ride from Georgia to Wisconsin on June 21st with Mutt Life Dog Rescue. But without a committed foster or adopter waiting at the end of the line, she can't make the trip.
