Meet Cortina, a gentle three-year-old Labrador Retriever mix who is gracefully blossoming as she learns the comforts of a true home. Though she is a dainty 34 pounds and currently working toward a healthy goal weight, her resilient spirit is already shining through. Cortina is a model houseguest who is both house and crate trained, but she truly shines when it’s time for affection; she is a professional snuggler who loves to cuddle up with her humans and shower them with grateful kisses. When she isn't claiming her spot on the sofa, Cortina is an active explorer who delights in sniffing through the yard and heading out for neighborhood walks. She has discovered a love for playtime, whether she’s tossing around dog toys or settling in for a good session with a favorite bone. A true "friend to all," she coexists beautifully with both dogs and cats, making her a seamless fit for a multi-pet household. While her foster home is currently child-free, her sweet, patient disposition suggests she would be a kind companion for a family with children. If you have a little extra room in your heart and a lot of love to give, Cortina is ready to be your loyal sidekick. If you are interested in adopting Cortina , please submit an inquiry directly to Greater Charlotte SPCA by visiting charlottespca.org/adopt. The adoption amount is a suggested donation of $200 to $300 dollars based on the pet's age. **Because our rescue is composed entirely of volunteers, local applications will take precedence. We will accept out of town applications, but any family is responsible for coming to Charlotte to complete a meet and greet. All out of town applicants will also have to be willing to drive to Charlotte to pick up the pet as soon as they are approved to adopt. **
