This little explorer is up for any adventure as long as you’re driving. Dora is a smart cookie with no time for anything but the best. Why sleep in a dog bed when you can burrow under a down comforter? Why “sit” when you can skip right to the more impressive “rollover?” This Dora might not have a talking backpack (yet!) but she knows to potty outside, and is eager to be your forever pal.

Here’s some notes from her foster :

Dora is a delight! She is a very happy dog. She follows me everywhere and wants to be next to me. She goes up and down stairs with gusto (could be because she is so motivated to go wherever I go). Going down a long flight of stairs might be challenging for her. (She hesitated once so I carried her). Going up stairs is easier.

I definitely think she is housetrained. She has only had one accident inside and she seemed to feel bad about it. She loves to go for walks and understands heeling. She is a little barky – but it is mostly because she is so enthusiastic and can’t contain herself (for example when we are getting ready to go for a walk or when I come home).

Out and about she wants to play and say hello to other dogs. She responds when you call her name and will come to you. When she greets dogs she wags her tail. She likes to burrow under blankets and she sleeps that way all night, very quietly. She gets along with my dog (10 lb. Chihuahua/terrier) and politely eats her dinner right next to my dog). She became attached to me very quickly. I think she would love to have a forever person. I’m sure she would do everything she possibly could to please them.

She likes to sleep near me, and will do fine sleeping in her crate with a blanket just outside my door. She naps throughout the day but the moment you sound like you might be leaving the room she’ll perk up and follow you. I have put her in her crate if I need to go out for a few hours, and she does okay.
