About Pocahontas

Meet Pocahontas—her foster family calls her Elara, or Lara for short. Elara is a curious, playful, and energetic young pup discovering all the joys of home life. Since settling into foster care, she’s been occupied with exploring every corner of the house, rolling in the grass, and figuring out just how great toys can be. She adores other dogs, especially her foster sister Eve, and can almost always be found right by her side—sometimes squeezing into the same crate just to stay close. Her social side really shines in those moments. Like any pup her age, Elara is still learning the basics: leash walking, house training, and commands. She’s catching on quickly and just needs some consistency and patience. Her favorite activities so far include rolling in the yard, following her dog friends, and occasionally sneaking off with an unattended shoe. Elara will do best with a medium or high-energy household that can offer playtime, structure, and affection. She’s got lots of puppy energy to burn but also enjoys downtime with her people. If you want a sweet, affectionate partner-in-adventure, Elara could be the perfect fit. As a fun fact, her birthday is May 17th, which makes her a Taurus—expect a loyal and grounded pup.
