• “Sora is a high energy girl. She loves playing outside but she gets overwhelmed at the dog park. She loves people and other dogs.“

  — Caitlin J.

• “Hello, I’m Sora! Sometimes I go by Bora or Shora for extra cuteness. I’m a Patterdale and Pibby Mix and almost 4 months old. I love to run around and chase other humans and dogs when we play. Hope to get along with you!“

  — Kevin M.

• “Hi there! My mom says I'm yappy when there are new dogs and sometimes people around. But I'm just letting them know who I am. I have a few friends, but I would like to make more friends and would like to go out more.“

  — Carissa W.

• “Hi I’m Sora! I am a wild ball of energy that absolutely loves being outside as often as I can. I love all people and pets! I’m a bit mischievous, but it’s okay, mom says I’m cute so it makes up for it! My big brother is my bestie and he’s very protective of me and our mom.“

  — Rachel R.

• “Hi! My name is Sora and I used to LOVE playing with other dogs until I got attacked. Now I use my voice to keep them away but my mom keeps saying I need to learn to make friends. My mom has tried to make me some friends but we never have a safe space to run around in. I was already awkward since I was a Covid puppy, so I’m just looking to vamp up my socialization skills!“

  — Sam P.

• “I LOVE running around. I am a border collie and have the energy to prove it. I like going to new places and sniff new sniffs, run around open spaces, and have the chance to catch a ball or Frisbee. My human doesn't like dog parks because of bad experiences before, and we have too small of a yard for border collie zoomies, so I really appreciate the people that open up their big spaces for me to run around in!!!“

  — Dannyalle B.

• “I’m 6 years old, my mom just rescued me from the Escondido SDHS campus on 9/25/2026 and I go to work with her everyday at a dog grooming shop. I’m nervous around new people but definitely will warm up. I can be leash and barrier reactive but off leash I’m typically fine. Sometimes I don’t like it when dogs get in my face but I usually just warn. No bite history. I’m good with little dogs but have been chill with bigger dogs too, especially if they ignore me.“

  — Julie C.

• “HELLO! I’m Sora, a 5 year old Great Dane - or as my mom likes to call me, mini cow. I’m a big strong boy who loves to run zoomies and squeak tennis balls all day. Despite what a big boy I am, my mom also says I’m a big baby. Wouldn’t you be scared of loud construction trucks, tall mailboxes/poles, and strangers touching you? Even though I’m weary of people, I do get interested in those who smell like animals - because I LOVE my furry friends! Every dog is my friend who needs my love immediately. It can be a bit overwhelming to some, so I’m learning to be better. I’m a work in progress!“

  — Kairi N.
