Kora

My story

Kora - Female Pocket Pitt/Terrier Mix (BREED IS STRICTLY BEST GUESS ONLY) Date of Birth. 4/30/2024 Weight 38lbs FENCED IN YARD REQUIRED Kora is 11 months old, 38 pounds, and just as sweet as can be. She is a little shy at first, but once she says hello and feels comfortable you get to see her spunky personality. She has a cute wiggle butt when she is excited, or when she greets you coming home. She does amazing in her crate, and is completely potty trained. Her ideal home will be on the calmer side, but have a fenced yard for her to enjoy and another dog to pay with. She is so good about sharing toys, and loves to wrestle and run around with other dogs. This girl may be shy at first, but once she comes out of her shell, she is a talker! She enjoys making  moans and groans when she wants to play, or when she sees/smells you eating something yummy. Kora had a rough start to life. We believe her original owner dumped her at the shelter in horrific condition. Her skin was riddled with demadex mange, and she was very frightful. Luckily the angels at the shelter in Alabama treated her mange, and gave her much needed assurance that all humans aren’t bad. She can get startled by new things and places, so a family or person who will be patient with helping her build confidence around new things/places would be great! Kora will tolerate bath time like a champ if you have doggy peanut butter or treats.  She loves to play with her humans and dogs. She loves car rides, and a good snuggle at the end of the day. She is very food motivated, which will make her very easy to train. She currently has mastered the “sit” command, and is working on her recall / “come” command! If you think Kora is a good fit for you, please fill out an application at www..foreverhomedogrescueil.org WE DO NOT DO OUT OF STATE ADOPTIONS Thank you for considering the adoption of one of our rescue dogs. We are committed to finding our rescues the perfect home. Together we can make a difference in the life of a dog. The adoption process should be a fun and exciting time for families and dogs. Our goal is to place our babies in forever homes. The potential adopter needs to be dedicated to their care and training for life. Understand that sharing your life with a dog can be a commitment of 15+ years. This would include feeding, exercise, training, vetting, and providing a loving home. Ask yourself, "Am I ready for this type of commitment?" If you are ready, we are here to help. We do have some requirements to help us find the perfect placement of our babies.
