CORA - SPRINGER SPANIEL / ROTTWEILER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Springer Spaniel / Rottweiler / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Cora! Cora is a young Rottweiler mix that was heavily pregnant when she arrived at No Dogs Left Behind. She had six adorable puppies that are now finding families of their own. Raising puppies is a lot of work so momma Cora is enjoying her new-found freedom and ready to find her people! Cora is a high-energy dog that loves to be around her humans. When she gets excited, Cora still has a tendency to jump initially but has learned that lying down makes her foster parents happy. When she is calm, Cora enjoys laying next to (or on) her human. She is affectionate and likes to be pet and brushed. Cora loves playing tug or chasing after the ball with the resident dog. She walks well on the leash but does get excited and pulls if she passes another dog. Cora has started visiting outdoor patios and likes to supervise the nearby people and dogs. Cora enjoys running around in her fenced yard and would love a home that has the time to meet her exercise needs. Outside, Cora thinks she is a guard dog. She no longer reacts to passing people or bikes but still barks at passing dogs. Cora is interested in birds and squirrels and has fun chasing them out of the yard, protecting her foster family’s garden. Given her prey drive, we expect that Cora would chase cats and would likely not be a good fit for a home with other small animals. Cora sleeps in the kennel at night and when her foster family is at work. She happily runs into the kennel for meals or a tasty treat. In the kennel, she is quiet and can often be seen lying on her back with her feet sticking straight up in the air. Cora loves to have a durable chew toy in the kennel. Cora has had no accidents in her foster home and goes outside on a schedule. She is able to sleep through the night without issue. Foster dad lets her outside over lunch to potty and burn off a little energy. Then she returns to the kennel to nap or chew on a bone. Cora is very smart and has picked up on training quickly. This girl loves to work and would be a good fit for someone that wants to get into canine sports! Cora is working hard on her impulse control and would benefit from continued training. We think a family without a young kid would be best given her size and jumping for attention. Cora has done well with other dogs and wouldn’t mind a playful canine companion but wouldn’t complain about getting all the attention as an only-dog either. This young momma deserves a loving home to call her own and is excited to meet you!
