Dora is an affectionate, spayed female Tosa Inu, approximately 2 years and 6 months old, weighing around 107 pounds. This extra-large girl is up to date on vaccinations and is currently located in Stratham, NH. Though she has a friendly disposition, she may need a brief period of adjustment to be fully house trained after her time in the shelter.

About Dora

Dora is a striking Tosa Inu, weighing around 107 pounds. She came to the NHSPCA from Humane World for Animals after being rescued from a South Korean dog meat farm. Thankfully, that terrible practice is now illegal. This friendly and affectionate girl loves to play, and watching her bounce around with toys is a delightful sight. Dora walks nicely on a leash but won’t hesitate to pull towards anything that piques her curiosity. Although she has shown friendliness towards other dogs, her large frame can sometimes intimidate them. A particularly pushy female dog received a firm growl from Dora, which effectively sent her packing. Reports from her foster family indicate that she is potty trained, although a quick refresher might help her readapt to a home setting after spending time in a shelter. Mastiff enthusiasts will find a genuine gem in Dora! That said, it's good to research the breed before meeting her, as Mastiffs aren't for everyone. Ready to meet Dora?
