We need everyone to read Cordelia’s story and help us find her the most amazing forever home possible. She is 4 years old and is one of the sweetest dogs you will ever meet. She was found as a stray down south with a serious and painful wound on her back leg. X-rays later revealed that she had been shot (you read that correctly). Our hearts were shattered at the thought of all she has been through. Miraculously, the bullet missed any critical structures that would have required amputation. She is now finishing up her healing process here with us and is doing beautifully. Here’s the incredible part: despite everything she’s been through, Cordelia’s heart is still wide open and full of love. She is extremely sweet, gentle, and affectionate. She leans into people like she’s been waiting her whole life for someone to tell her she’s safe. Introductions to other dogs have gone well and she approaches new friends with calm curiosity. Cordelia doesn’t carry anger or resentment and she doesn’t carry fear the way you might expect. What she DOES carry is hope. This dog deserves to be shown what love looks like and we will settle for nothing but the best. Soft beds, kind hands, patient guidance, and a family that sees her not for what happened to her, but for who she is. Stop by to meet Cordelia and help her write the next chapter of her story.

ABOUT: MIXED BREED DOG BREED
The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
