About Couri

Couri is a little more than a year old and has already faced more challenges than most dogs. Rescued from a hoarding situation, she entered care without knowing the warmth of love or the security of a home. Initially terrified, Couri has come a long way in foster care, transforming from a frightened pup into a courageous young lady. Though still learning to accept gentle touches as kindness, she no longer flinches when hands reach for her—a significant milestone for this resilient girl. Couri has mastered leash walking, is fully house trained, and adores the company of other dogs, particularly her sibling Britt. While she may not be the first to initiate play, she draws comfort from being part of a canine group. Watching Couri discover the joys of being a dog is a heartwarming experience. From the joyful squiggles in her bed to her occasional zoomies, she shows her growing confidence and trust, especially in the presence of her foster mom. Couri doesn’t need a flawless home; rather, she seeks a patient adopter who understands that building trust takes time. If given the chance, Couri will teach you the profound beauty of love and patience. Every moment she grows is a reminder of how far she’s come. Click apply to start the adoption process.
