About Cora
Cora is a 3-5 year old deaf cattle dog mix currently being fostered in Phoenix, AZ. She is deeply loyal and bonds closely with her people, often choosing to relax right next to them. Cora thrives on outdoor activity—she’s a strong runner and enjoys hiking trails, especially when her mind can stay focused. She responds well to food rewards and knows several basic commands, steadily picking up more as she trains. She does best indoors and generally displays good manners, though she can get reactive with guests and isn’t comfortable around ceiling fans. Out on walks, she may react to cars, gatherings, or unexpected moving objects. Her fosters have seen progress but note she can regress with new experiences or places. Cora should be kept on leash around guests and in stimulating environments and may need a muzzle at times for everyone’s comfort. She is crate trained but tends to bark when left alone or when guests arrive; she relaxes better in a quiet bedroom. Cora has shared a home with other dogs, preferring those who match her energy, like heelers, but does fine as a solo companion too. She is not suitable for homes with cats or young children due to her chase drive and special needs. For Cora, a cat-free, adult-only home will offer the safest, calmest environment. Born on January 29, she’s an Aquarius—a sign known for independence and spirit. Click apply to start the adoption process.
