History: Sora is a beautiful girl who was surrendered to rescue by a commercial breeding program and a BIG surprise to everyone- she was expecting! She has been a wonderful momma dog to her last litter of puppies and is now on the journey to being spayed and finding a forever home of her own while her puppies look for their families too!
A Note from the Foster: Meet the wonderful mommy, Sora! Sora came to rescue as most breeder dogs do, scared, unsure to trust, and downright filthy and matted. It was a complete surprise to find out that Sora was also expecting! Mommy dogs that come to rescue are in a league of their own as they try to navigate this new life and bring their little ones into it. They have such resilience, and seeing how far they come is a joy. Sora brought four precious puppies into the world and is the best mommy. She takes such good care of them and is entirely devoted to their needs.
Despite all that has happened in Sora’s life, she still loves to be around people and seeks attention. She gets along well with other dogs and tries to get them to play with her. She also loves to play with her babies and run around with them. She has only been around small dogs, and we believe she would have no trouble around bigger dogs, too. She would do well in a home as an only dog or with other dogs. At this time, she has only been around small dogs. Before she had her puppies, she was in a crate at night and cried for a little bit, but settled down soon after. She is working on some things breeder dogs have not experienced, such as walking on a leash. She is working on potty training and has come a long way. When she first arrived, she was not potty trained, but she is getting the hang of going outside to do her business. We simply cannot blame this sweet girl, for her first 3 years in this world, she never learned how to do this. No one cared to help her. She will get there with time, practice, and patience from her forever family.
We are so glad Sora got to rescue in time to have her puppies in a safe and loving place. It is now her time to get all the love and attention she needs. Perhaps you are the lucky family that will give her that. This sweet girl deserves it!
Adoption Fee: $550 + 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!
