My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Nori!
This lovely, lovely, LOVELY (did I mention she is lovely?!) lady is Nori!
Nori is estimated to be an aussiedoodle, or similar mix, and she is smiling about her recent groom. Nori is likely around 4-6 years old and about 40 lbs.
Nori ended up in a shelter as a stray a few months ago and has had quite the crazy adventure since then. When Nori went in for spay it was found she was very pregnant so that plan changed. But then her little body continued to struggle to sustain the puppies but they were potentially viable so she had a c-section and lots of TLC. Sadly the puppies were just not strong enough and all passed away quickly and peacefully. Several days later Nori was also clearly struggling and needed an additional surgery to clean out remaining tissue. Her temp foster home was very worried about her over this time but gave her their best and slowly over the following weeks she gained stength and weight and started to show her true colors, following her foster mom around like her little shadow.
We know that Nori loves warm places to sleep, and often will chose to go nap in an open crate. She is housebroken, although we would expect any dog may have accidents as she adjusts to a new space and routine. Nori enjoys the company of other dogs, however would also be fine as your one and only. She is a sweet, quiet dog, and won't be the bonehead who throws herself into your lap to lick your face (labs - I'm lookin at you). But she enjoys quiet words and gentle pets and being with you.
Nori is spayed, up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. She also tested heartworm negative.
