• “Hi I'm nora, I am a two year old puppy and I am learning about my world. I live with two cats that I love to play with and I have a great trainer that comes to see me once a week. I love to be chased and run around with toys. Hot dogs and bacon are my favorite kind of tasting treats.“

  — Kira R.

• “Super sweet girl who loves her people. She takes a while to warm up and typically doesn’t do well with people or other dogs upon the first meeting due to her high anxiety.“

  — Rae R.

• “Nora is an adventurous, fun-loving, goofy and fast Kerry Blue Terrier! Although our family lives in a condo, we love searching for new spots to sniff out! Nora actively trains in barn-hunt (hunting for rats/rodents as they were bred to do) and for conformation showing as of now, but soon will dabble with some agility and potentially dock diving sports as well.“

  — Jenna D.

• “Nora is an older dog whom we adopted from AA County Animal Control in 2017.“

  — Hillary M.

• “I'm a lovable rescue who is very nervous about just about everything and sometimes that means I react poorly to certain situations. I love sniffing around new places and recently discovered I enjoy bodies of water. I do not enjoy the company of other dogs or new people. But I love my Mom and Dad and am learning the world isn't quite so scary.“

  — Andreanna A.

• “Nora is a people dog through and through. She's never met a human who she didn't immediately think was her new best friend. She's very particular about other dogs, and really only directly interacts with dogs she has had proper, slow infections with. Even then, she may be uncomfortable with some dogs. Nora has slowed down substantially, but occasionally still enjoys a light game of fetch. She also loves to enjoy all the smells the world has to offer.“

  — Doug C.

• “Nora is a 1 year old GD looking for a fences placed to run off some puppy energy“

  — Tina J.

• “Hi I’m Nora! I’m a chocolate lab who loves water, fetch, people and other dogs!“

  — Allie G.

• “She's a sweet and kind playful girl. We call her a "pocket-newf" since she's quite small for a Newfoundland.“

  — Gabe K.

• “Very quiet and sweet girl, a little more on the nervous/shy side. She’s a rescue and friendly with people, but reactive to other pets.“

  — Savannah S.

• “My name is Nora and I love to run with other doggo’s! I am very friendly and don’t like loud and aggressive dogs. You might find me saying hi to your human more than you, I really like people.“

  — Josh T.

• “Loves water, belly rubs, rolling in the snow or grass, eating grass, occasionally digging, and would absolutely eat her tail if it meant getting food/treats (especially cheese).“

  — Kara O.

• “Nora is a sweet 8 month old dobie with a big personality. She loves people and dogs! We are in training to work on her manners and neutrality.“

  — Alexa H.

• “Mmmmm, hello. I’m Nora. I’m shy, and a little scared of a lot of things at first. People are usually afraid of me because I’m big, but the truth is that I’m scared of them. My mom helps me be brave and once I know what to expect I feel really happy. I love to play in the sprinkler, and dive for sticks in the water. Digging is super fun, and so is sniffing every single thing I see. You should see how fast I am when I get the zoomies!“

  — Stephenie s.

• “My sweet min pin is 10 years old and had to have her eyes removed so she can’t see but that doesn’t stop her from being confident!“

  — Chelsea T.
