About Dora

Dora is a delightful young Dachshund ready to find her forever home in Fort Walton Beach, FL. At around 4 years old and weighing 10 lbs, she's a loving companion who enjoys following her human around and tearing apart stuffie toys. Despite her rough beginnings—evident from the scars on her head and back—Dora’s spirit remains unbroken. She’s mastered her potty training and crate behavior, making her a smart and manageable addition to any household. Dora does well with kids and cats, but she prefers a home where she’s the only dog or with older, laidback dogs that won’t bother her. Although she'll be available for adoption after her recovery from spay and dental procedures in early October, she’s ready to spread her love now.
