History: Corella is a beautiful and ultra sweet who needed a second chance and an escape out of the commercial breeding world. She would make a wonderful addition to a lucky home of her very own soon!
A note from the foster: Corella came to us a matted mess. We loved on her and got her shaved but her luscious locks will be back before you know it. She is such a sweet dog that loves touch. She’ll sit for hours in your arms as you hold her like a baby and gently rub her tummy. She does well in her crate but has been promoted to the bed. She potties outside first thing in the morning and a few times throughout the day/evening. She hasn’t mastered going number two outside yet but the cold temps haven’t helped. We have a fenced yard so the little bit of leash work we’ve done hasn’t been productive. With time I’m sure she will learn. She can go up the stairs but down only a few. She’s getting better. If we put a pillow on the floor she uses it as a step to make it to the couch but her little legs keep her from jumping on the bed or furniture. She’s not food motivated and doesn’t seem that interested in treats or toys. She’s a very mellow dog that does great with my other dogs (chihuahua, cavalier, pitbull) and ignores my two cats. She doesn’t run away when I go to pick her up and she’s excited to greet new people. She comes to the office with me during the day and spends much of her time sleeping on a blanket by my desk and greeting the UPS guy when he stops by. She is tempting to keep but we know our true mission is to keep fostering dogs, but from my “professional” perspective she is beyond “a keeper”. We will miss her but we are sure she is going to thrive in a new home.
Adoption Fee: $500 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
