About Nora

Nora is a true diamond in the rough who’s overcome a hard start and is determined to enjoy her second chance. Sheltered from brutal winter conditions, she arrived hairless and nearly blind from infection, but she never stopped trusting people. With steady love and care, Nora’s fur is growing back, her eyes are clear, and she enjoys taking treats gently. She’s grown close to her foster family, adores their cats, and her best friend is a feline housemate. The kids call her their short-legged queen, but Nora’s loyalty runs even deeper—she bonds tightly and craves being close to her people. Nora needs an adopter who appreciates her quirks and high needs. She may nip affectionately and should live with people who don’t have especially sensitive skin. She’s notorious for chewing, so bones and puzzles are a must (otherwise, she’ll sample anything—including rocks and dirt). Because she’ll eat nearly anything, a home with older kids or adults is best (and people home most of the time). She’s house trained, asks to go out but can’t wait long, and is crate and leash trained. Nora thrives in a backyard but can’t be left unsupervised. Car rides aren’t her thing, but cozy time with her person certainly is. When she connects with someone, it’s for life. Nora is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for adoption in Lincoln Park, MI. Start your journey together! Apply now.
