Despite her rough start in life, Strawberry’s gentle eyes and one-of-a-kind appearance caught the attention of Kristen Kuhlman, a mom in South Pasadena, California.

Kuhlman, who has always been drawn to adopting dogs with unique needs, couldn’t resist Strawberry’s charm. “She just had such gentle eyes and, you know, I had never seen a dog like her ever before,” Kuhlman said. “She’s very unique and recognizable and one in a million, one of a kind.” With a husband and twins at home, Kuhlman welcomed Strawberry into her family in September 2022.

However, Strawberry’s transition to her new home wasn’t without challenges. Having moved from shelter to shelter, she was understandably nervous and overwhelmed. Kuhlman recalls Strawberry being unsure of her new surroundings and occasionally crying at night. “We all thought, ‘Oh no, what have we gotten ourselves into,’” Kuhlman said. But with time, patience, and plenty of love, Strawberry blossomed.

Within a few weeks, Strawberry’s true personality began to shine. Kuhlman describes her as the most affectionate dog who loves to play fetch with the kids and snuggle on the couch with her husband. “She fits right into our family,” Kuhlman said with a smile. “It’s been great.”

One of the things that makes Strawberry truly special is her name, which Kuhlman decided to keep. According to Kuhlman, the name “Strawberry” perfectly captures her sweet and loving nature, and it’s a fitting moniker for this unique pup who has brought so much joy to her new family.

As Strawberry continues to settle into her loving home, her story serves as a reminder of the resilience of animals and the power of love to transform lives. With her gentle eyes and unique appearance, Strawberry is a true “unicorn” dog who has found her happily ever after, bringing smiles and warmth to her new family every day.
