In the shelter’s words

Meet Nora! Nora is a sweet girl with plenty of pep in her step! She’s known to break out the zoomies and loves going for walks, spending time outside, curling up in a soft bed, and—perhaps most importantly—treats and mealtime. Carrots are an extra-special favorite! Nora is an independent little lady who also enjoys being close to her people. She’ll happily follow you around the house and believes everyone deserves a proper greeting when they come through the door—complete with an enthusiastic tail wag. She especially enjoys ear rubs and has a wonderfully sweet personality. Nora seems particularly fond of men and would love having a special person of her own to adore. Nora does well with other dogs, although she prefers canine companions who are fairly independent rather than looking to her as a constant playmate. She took some time to warm up to the dog in her foster home, so a patient introduction will help her feel comfortable. She could also be perfectly happy soaking up all the attention as someone’s one-and-only pup. Nora does very well with her housetraining when kept on a consistent schedule and will often wait by the back door to let you know she needs to go outside. She loves spending time in the yard, relaxing and keeping an eye on the neighborhood, so a secure physical fence will give her a safe place to enjoy her outdoor time. Nora can be a little sensitive to sudden noises and thunderstorms, and when something startles her, she appreciates having her person nearby for a little extra reassurance. A calm voice and some comforting attention go a long way, and she’s soon ready to settle back into her routine. Nora doesn’t let a little stiffness in her hip slow her down! She continues to enjoy her walks, outdoor time, and those adorable bursts of zoomies. She has medication available if she needs a little extra support, but she’s been doing so well that she hasn’t needed it in quite some time. Nora is ready for a loving home where she can enjoy all her favorite things—walks, soft beds, good food, ear rubs, plenty of affection, and maybe a cooked carrot or two. This sweet girl still has lots of love, personality, and happy tail wags to share with the lucky person who makes her part of their family. Nora is being fostered in Central Ohio. She has been spayed, microchipped, received her rabies, distemper/parvo, canine influenza and Bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and is on monthly heartworm prevention. Nora’s adoption fee is $400.
