My story

Adopt Aura!! Aura is ready for a home! Aura is a special girl with no hind legs. She will need a special person who could give her what she needs. Aura can get around pretty fast despite not having back legs. She was first found in Modesto Ca. Where somebody had left her in a shed with no food or water. She then was so-called rescued and taken to the house of horrors in Arizona. Where she was also neglected and tortured amongst 54 or more other dogs. She then went to Arizona Humane Society where she awaited rescue again. She had no rescue backing and that is where she joined our pack. Her amazing foster mom had said yes to fostering and that was the best thing that has happened to Aura! Aura loves to be with her and then foster family. She is very affectionate when she wants to be but it took her a while to gain trust. She was spayed and also had some dental work done. The ortho surgeon took a look at her back legs at UC DAVIS. She barely has any metatarsals left on the left leg. She had prosthetics that are being made and should arrive soon! She does not like to sit in her wheelchair but foster mom was donated a very big Stroller. Where Aura likes to go for a stroll in. Aura might be around six years old or younger but because of the neglect it shows on her body. Aura is looking for a family that could let her be her. She has been through enough and we don’t want to force her to do anything. She takes time to trust but is very sweet. She is dog friendly but sometimes is picky. She gets along with most dogs but doesn’t like to share her attention that you are giving her but who would blame her. She likes her warm big bed and likes to eat. Aura would do best with a house with carpet where she can get around. Concrete does hurt her nubs and she would need booties or a wrap. Aura also likes to go potty on the grass where it’s soft for her to try and stand to go. She is mostly potty trained but because of her limbs she sometimes can go where it’s more comfortable. Aura would love a home of her own. To meet Miss Aura please apply with our adoption app!September 2, 2025, 9:02 am

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Aura, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
