About Kora

Kora is a special gal, who came to us in pretty bad shape. She had multiple breaks in her hips and pelvis, suggesting she may have been hit by a car. She's had some time to heal and did not need surgery for this. The vets think she will do just fine without any sort of special treatment moving forward, but may have increased arthritis later in life. Despite her injuries, she quickly warmed up to a few staff members, then a few more, then everyone, including volunteers! Kora is a spunky girl with a lot of personality. She doesn't let the fact that she's had a healing broken pelvis slow her down. She loves walks and playing in the yard- with people or alone. She's just fine entertaining herself, throwing stuffies around and catching them mid-flight. She even seems to be ok with our resident office cat (though she does want to chase the feral cats outside the shelter). An absolute cuddle monster, Kora initially showed a bit of guarding with the people she liked most. We think it was likely a response to her new environment and any pain she may have been in. Still, she may display similar behaviors once she's in a new home, which is something any new adopter can work on. So far, she's had pretty big feelings about other dogs when she sees them. Kora might want to be the only dog in the home, and while she's at it, she'd like space to run and roam. Kora is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. She is about 1.5 years old and around 45 pounds.
