About Comer

Comer is a ten-year-old Corgi/Terrier mix with a warm personality and a compact small frame. She’s content to curl up on your lap after a long day, always ready for a good cuddle or to quietly keep you company. Despite being a senior, she still has a youthful spirit and enjoys playful moments. Comer recently lost her home due to her previous owner’s illness, but she’s handled the change with remarkable resilience. She gets along very well with cats—currently living alongside a feline friend in her foster home—but she prefers a home without other dogs, as she can be particular about her canine company. Comer is generally friendly and loves spending time with people, though she may be somewhat nervous with men at first. Gentle introductions work best to help her feel comfortable. Comer is house-trained and crate-trained and behaves well in the car, making her a low-maintenance companion. She is spayed and currently up to date on vaccinations. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate dog to share your life—and your couch—Comer is ready to bring warmth and loyalty to your home. Adoption fees apply. Start your journey together!
