Kora

Kora is a cute 55 lb black and tan female, approximately 7 months old. She was surrendered to a vet's office when the previous family could not afford her vet care. The vet's office treated her and when she was bouncing around like a typical young dog, they contacted us to take her in. This girl seems starved for attention. She likes nothing better than to snuggle as closely as she can for attention, however, she doesn't understand boundaries or any commands yet. She also jumps up when excited, so very small children would not be recommended.

In the current foster home, Kora is living with three male German Shepherds. She is just beginning to show interest in playing with two of the dogs. It's funny to watch as she tries to join in the play, but then runs like she's afraid if the dogs try to include her. With time, there is no doubt that Kora will be playing roughly like a typical 7 month old German Shepherd. There are also several cats in the foster home and Kora has shown little interest in them, as long as her human is willing to rub her belly and distract her from the cats.

Within two days at the foster house, Kora goes easily into a crate and sleeps through the night. Kora is unfamiliar with riding in cars. She will not get in willingly and once in, seems afraid to get out. When a leash is put on Kora, she tends to roll on the ground and then in circles and gets totally tangled. Once moving, she walks fairly well on a leash. If outside with another dog, Kora is fairly quiet. She does alarm bark and has a very deep, big dog bark. If alone, she does cry. We are working on house manners and house breaking and Kora seems like a quick study.

With further socialization, regular exercise and structured obedience and reinforcement of house manners, Kora can be a very good companion dog and someone's best friend.

This is a Level 2 Dog!
