About Dora

Dora is a lovely female German Shepherd, around 4 to 6 years old, currently in Green Cove Springs, FL. Rescued from a high-kill shelter, she spent over a month awaiting a new beginning. This brave girl is heartworm positive, but she’s receiving treatment through the slow kill method. Though a little shy at first, Dora is incredibly sweet and eager to bond with someone who will stay in her life. She can be a bit overzealous around other dogs, so she’d thrive as the only dog in a home. Good news for cat lovers: she does well with resident cats, although a swift chase can occur if they dart away. Dora’s a quiet, crate-trained dog who handles the leash well and adores sharing kisses. She would make a fantastic companion for a retired individual or anyone seeking a loyal friend. If you believe you could be the perfect match for Dora and would like to give her the loving forever home she deserves, apply today through our adoption process!
