About Cora

Meet Cora, a spirited three-year-old with a bold mix of Dachshund and Corgi in her lineage. At 26 lbs, Cora carries herself with confidence and a bit of an independent streak, shaped by her early days fending for herself on the streets. Her days of scrounging for meals are over and she is learning what it means to be cared for. Cora thrives on companionship with her humans, offering warmth and loyalty to those she lets into her circle. She bonds deeply and expresses her affection with the people she trusts. Because she’s fiercely protective and prefers to be the center of attention, Cora needs to be your one-and-only pet. She isn’t suited to households with other dogs or cats. She’s playful and loving with people, offering the kind of constant, devoted presence only a true companion provides. Cora is not yet house trained, so her adopter should be ready to help her build those skills. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
