About Nora

Meet Nora. Her story is tough: she and a senior Shih Tzu were left behind in a yard for days after their owner was evicted, with no food or water and no help from anyone. When someone finally opened a car door, Nora immediately jumped in—she knew she wanted out. Nora is about 5 years old, a large, medium-coated Carolina Dog mix with a warm brown coat. She’s spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. If you’re looking for a deeply affectionate dog, she adores giving kisses and seeks out human companionship. She’s anxious right now, pacing in the yard and unsure after everything she’s been through. Nora can be dog selective and has not been tested with cats, but she gets along with children and craves stability. She deserves a reliable, loving home after being letdown by every human in her life. Ready to give her what she’s been missing? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
