Cora is a confident and charming Kelpie–Shepherd–Husky mix with a love for treats and a personality all her own.

At almost 7 years old and 60 pounds, she knows what she wants—sometimes that means grumbling when petted like a true husky, and sometimes that means leaning in for attention when the mood strikes. Cora is smart, listens well, and enjoys the company of other dogs with similar or lower energy, though slow introductions are best.

She’s looking for a calm, patient home with someone who understands working breeds, a stable routine, and lots of love. With the right family, Cora is ready to share her confidence, quirky charm, and loyal heart.

Located in Centreville, MD, she can also travel to neighboring states.
