Nora is a very sweet 9 year old girl who loves her humans and really loves her belly rubs! She follows foster mom and dad everywhere they go. She rides in the car very well, is potty-trained, loves going for walks, and taking naps afterwards! She knows "sit" and "come". Nora crates well but would prefer to be out and with her humans. Nora is very sweet with the kids in her foster home. Nora doesn't mind the companionship, but she is not playful with the other dogs in her foster home. She would do great as an only dog in her adoptive home, or with another calm, mellow dog. Nora is overweight at 92lbs, and is working on getting her “summer body" back with a good healthy diet and exercise! She is very mellow and always welcomes you with love and tail wags! She is very well-behaved on walks (ignores other dogs) and a very pleasant companion to have in the house. Nora is a very sweet and special girl!

Nora's adoption fee is $225, all of which goes back into offseting our high-cost vetting expenses and rescuing more dogs. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, fecal, deworming, flea/tick and heartworm preventative, heartworm tested if old enough (treated if positive), and microchipped.

ADOPTING A MATURE DOG: Seniors have so much love and life in them and bring much happiness to the wonderful families who adopt them. They are calmer, more mellow, require considerably less exercise, and are just as fun, loyal, and loving as younger dogs. Seniors are an excellent choice for first-time GSD owners or for anyone looking for a low-key, mellow companion! HUGS 'MATURE DOG' REPEAT ADOPTER PROGRAM: When you adopt a HUGS senior, and later come back to adopt another senior, you are eligible to pay a reduced senior adoption fee of $125. Thank you for loving these wonderful, very deserving dogs, as much as we do!
