Nori

My story

Meet Nori — The Sweetest Wallflower with the Funniest Little Face Nori is a 35-pound Boston Terrier or French Bulldog mix (we think!) with a face that’s impossible not to love. With her expressive eyes and endearing underbite, Nori wears her heart on her sleeve—and on her face. At around 2–4 years old, she’s still learning how to be brave in a world that feels a little too big sometimes. Nori is a nervous girl, and new environments and people can leave her feeling unsure. But behind that timid exterior is a heart ready to bloom. She just needs the right garden—a home with patient, experienced people who understand how to gently help dogs come out of their shells. One thing that makes Nori light up? Other dogs! She absolutely thrives with a calm, confident canine companion by her side. A friendly dog sibling could be just the buddy she needs to feel safe and gain confidence. Nori may not be the dog who rushes up to greet you, but she’s the one who will quietly change your world when you earn her trust. If you're the kind of person who finds beauty in the shy ones and joy in the little milestones, Nori might be your perfect match. She’s waiting, hopeful, for someone to see past her nerves—and into her gentle, loving soul. *Reminder* We are currently facilitating adoptions through appointment only.
