Cora

Cora is a Female Pitbull mix
DOB: January of 2025
Adoption fee: $100

I was abandoned by my owners at the shelter. I was dropped off and expected to fend for myself and expected to trust strangers to be kind when those I trusted most left me behind. Thank goodness, there are kind humans that understood my frame of mind and were able to get me to safety. I am now spayed. I have received the appropriate vaccines, microchipped, I am heartworm negative but unfortunately, I did test positive for Lyme. Although I was not exhibiting symptoms, I am being treated with the appropriate antibiotics.

The shelter is a very overstimulating place for me. The staff is very kind, and they are trying their best to get to know me, so they can help find the right home for me. As of right now, they say I must have a secured physically fenced yard. I most likely should be the only dog in my new home. Honestly, with my larger-than-life personality, I am all you need. I do have a prey drive, so cats are not recommended at this time. Due to my energy level and lack of impulse control, I would do my best with teenage children 15+.

I am very playful, and food motivated. I take treats very gently as well. I will need a fair but strong leader which is dedicated to supplying a solid foundation built from mutual trust, love, and understanding.
