Meet Cora.
Her next chapter belongs in a home.
Cora is a 7–8-year-old, roughly 60-pound Kelpie–Shepherd–Husky mix. She is spayed, vaccinated, and heartworm and Lyme negative. She knows sit and paw, crates well, and responds to routine.
She lost her person, David “Chef Dave” Burall, in 2025. Since November 2025, she has been in boarding while people search for the right foster or adopter.
The home Cora needs
She needs a home where people understand how much change she has experienced over the past year and give her time to settle in. We always recommend slow introductions to new pet friends.
