About Dora

Dora is a sweet girl with a calm demeanor. At over 10 years old, she's not a high-energy pup, but she occasionally enjoys running around and playing. She's great with other dogs and shows interest in cats mainly for their food. Her snoring is quite notable, adding charm to her personality. While she loves attention, she takes her time to build trust. Due to her heartworm positive status and a small growth on her back, Dora deserves a quiet retirement home where she can relax comfortably. Dora has had an adoption inquiry after three years, but it was from out of state, which isn’t suitable considering her mobility. We are looking for local inquiries only, ideally from Houston or nearby areas. Your new best friend is just one click away.
