About Coraline

Be wise. Be brave. Be tricky. Coraline is ready to step into a brighter future after leaving her challenging past behind. This gentle Basenji mix, often known as the "barkless" dog, entered our program alongside five friends from a hoarding situation. To truly thrive, she needs someone who can provide love and reassurance, helping her embrace life in the spotlight. Coraline has a warm heart that shines through her affectionate nature. Currently, she is being crate trained, leash trained, and house trained. With the right care and patience, Coraline will develop into a confident companion. She has her own quirks, including a preference for a good meal, often convincing her caregivers to add a bit of wet food on the side. Coraline also has a taste for stinky treats, such as freeze-dried fish and meatballs, which she delights in. Could you be the one to give Coraline the loving home she deserves? Apply to find out!
