About Cora

Cora is an 11-month-old Lab mix with plenty of spark and an easygoing nature. Weighing in at about 40 pounds now and probably topping out near 45, she's built for action but stays down to earth. Her last home loved her, but things didn't work out with the resident cat, so Cora is looking for a place without feline friends. Despite this, she gets along very well with other dogs and absolutely lights up when children are around. Cora thrives in play—she loves running laps in the yard, romping around with other pups, and settling in for a walk or a spirited game of fetch. She's smart and quick to learn, working on her commands and house manners every day. Cora is spayed, fully housebroken, up to date on vaccinations, and crate trained. She'd be happiest with an active family, especially one with a fenced backyard and maybe a canine sibling. If you’re ready for a friendly, bright, and affectionate companion, Cora might be your new best friend. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
