About Lori

Lori is a loving and attentive 2-year-old Carolina mix, rescued in Texas from a packed shelter and now thriving in foster care. She’s a medium-sized, intelligent dog who has quickly stolen the hearts of those around her. In her daycare, Lori stands out for her playful spirit and ability to get along with both small and large pups—she genuinely enjoys their company and it’s easy to see why everyone gravitates toward her. Petting sessions are among Lori’s favorite things, and she’s obedient and patient, never stressed when left alone. She’s well-mannered and loves giving kisses, eager to share affection with her forever family. Lori is easygoing around humans and other animals alike, making her a good fit for homes with or without other dogs and for families with children. Currently fostered in Houston, Lori is fully vetted, spayed, and up to date on vaccines. She can travel to other states or Canada for the right adopter, though a fully fenced yard is required for her safety—no invisible or underground fences. Ready to meet your new best friend?
