About Nori

Meet Nori! Nori is a sweet two-year-old girl who recently arrived at the rescue from a puppy mill, where she had very little contact with people. She is on a journey to understand what it means to be a dog in a home and is taking things at her own pace. Dogs are her comfort zone. Nori thrives around other dogs, using them as support and confidence boosters. However, humans are still somewhat foreign to her. Currently, she tends to shy away from the people in her environment and will need an adopter who understands that building trust takes time and cannot be rushed. For her safety, Nori is not yet going outside, as she can be easily frightened and might run. A secure, fully fenced yard will be essential for her future home, along with a friendly and confident canine companion to show her that the human world can be safe and loving. Nori won’t adapt overnight. Be prepared for a gradual process that may take months or even longer as she learns to feel comfortable and trust her new family. Patience, understanding, and celebrating small victories will be key in her journey. Nori seeks a quiet, gentle home that allows her to adjust at her own pace, with a secure environment and another dog to guide her. While she may not yet know how to be someone’s dog, she has the potential to learn with kindness and time. Start your journey together! Apply now.
