About Aurora

Aurora is a 9-month-old German Shepherd and Labrador mix weighing about 55.8 pounds. This friendly pup is back at the shelter through no fault of her own, looking for a loving home. Described as outgoing and affectionate, she has made improvements with leash walking, now doing well on a harness. While she is generally housebroken, occasional accidents can happen as she adjusts. Aurora exhibits a playful, puppy-like curiosity, which includes some mischief like chewing and getting into trash. It's important to handle introductions to new dogs carefully; she's friendly but tends to be overly enthusiastic at first. Aurora is also learning to manage her excitement around vehicles that pass by. She’s a smart pup eager to learn, so a patient owner who can continue her training is a must. Although we don't have details on her experience with children or other pets, slow, controlled introductions will help her thrive. After a recent treatment for Giardia, she's on the mend and ready to find her forever home. If you're interested in meeting Aurora, please reach out!
