About Cora

Cora is an urgent case in need of a safe landing—her foster family can't keep her much longer, and she doesn't have anywhere else to go. She cannot handle boarding; the stress would be too hard on her. Pulled off a shelter red list with her puppies, Cora watched as her pups found homes while she stayed behind. She's about eight years old and has some tough memories around leashes and car rides, likely due to rough treatment in the past. Because she’s scared of rides and leash walks, she kept getting overlooked for adoption. Still, Cora remains loving, gentle, playful, and loyal. She’s spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. What she really wants is a calm home where she can relax, snuggle, and be someone’s best companion. She would be a great match for a family that enjoys a peaceful home life and wants an affectionate, low-key dog. Cora gets along well with children and other dogs. What are you waiting for?
