Meet Lore: A Shy Soul Seeking a Patient Friend



Are you an experienced and compassionate dog lover with a heart full of patience? If so, Lore might be the perfect companion for you.



Lore is a gentle soul who has faced more than her fair share of challenges. This sweet, timid girl is a shy, scared pup who will need a special adopter to help her blossom into the loving, confident dog she’s destined to become. She’s got a heart of gold, but it’s hidden beneath layers of fear and hesitation.



Lore’s past experiences have left her wary of new people and environments. She’s a little unsure about the world, but with time, patience, and a gentle touch, she has the potential to be a truly loyal and affectionate companion.




What Lore Needs:



Experienced Adopter: Lore’s ideal home is with someone who has experience with fearful and anxious dogs. You’ll need to be prepared to go at Lore’s pace and understand that building trust will take time.



Patient and Loving Environment: Lore will need a calm, quiet environment where she can feel safe and secure. A predictable routine will help her feel more at ease.



Training and Socialization: Lore will benefit from positive reinforcement training to help her overcome her fearful behaviors. With guidance, she can learn to navigate new situations with more confidence.



Time and Commitment: Gaining Lore’s trust won’t happen overnight. You’ll need to be dedicated to spending quality time with her, slowly introducing her to new experiences and people.




What Lore Offers:



Loyal Companionship: Once Lore feels safe, she will show you the depth of her affection. Her loyalty and gentle nature will shine through as she begins to trust you.



A Rewarding Journey: Helping Lore overcome her fears will be a deeply rewarding experience. Watching her grow and thrive in a loving environment will be a testament to your commitment and care.



If you’re ready to take on the rewarding challenge of helping Lore find her way to a happier, more confident life, please consider opening your heart and home to this deserving girl. With the right support, Lore has the potential to become a cherished member of your family.



Important Addendum: Commitment to Lore’s Journey



Please note that due to Lore’s sensitive nature and the significant commitment required to support her growth, we are not accepting returns for her. Lore’s journey to confidence and trust is delicate and crucial, and it’s important that she finds a stable, dedicated home where she can flourish without disruption.



Lore will need a committed owner who is prepared to invest time and effort into her training and socialization. Bouncing between homes can deeply affect her progress, potentially causing separation anxiety and hindering her ability to build trust and confidence.



If you are ready to provide Lore with the stable, loving environment she needs, and you are committed to her ongoing training and development, we encourage you to consider adopting her. Your dedication will play a vital role in helping Lore become the happy, confident companion she deserves to be.

If you are interested in meeting a dog or cat, we require an adoption application.
Apply to adopt at: www.nerdypaws.org



Nerdy Paws Animal Rescue is a foster based rescue in Springfield, VA. 
We do not have a shelter, all of our animals are in foster homes. 
We require all potential adopters to fill out an application before setting up a meeting with the animal and their foster family.



If the animal has *HAS APP* listed in their name it means they currently have an application that has not been finalized. They are still available to receive additional applications but also may be in the process of being adopted soon.

Additional adoption info

Application
First, individuals can review adoptable animals by clicking “Adopt” at the top of the screen. All potential adopters must fill out an adoption application under the same tab. The application includes two non-family references as well as information on the potential adopter’s landlord and designated veterinarian. References will be contacted separately to obtain the requisite information.

Meet and Greet
Once the application and references have been successfully reviewed and approved, a NPAR representative will reach out to the potential adopter to set up a meet and greet with the dog.

Home Visit
The home visit is the final important piece in identifying a safe home for all of our dogs. A NPAR representative will schedule a visit that fits your schedule. We ask that all family members are present.

Contract
The contract can be signed at the conclusion of the home visit or at a later date.

Payment can also be arranged at this time, either online or via check. The adoption fee takes care of the cost to spay/neuter, feed, and transport our rescues. Some adopters also choose to make a donation at this time.

Payment: Online or by check
Unless a veterinarian advises otherwise, our dogs all receive: vet exam, spay or neuter, microchip, DHPP, bordatella, rabies vaccs, fecal exam, heartworm test, deworming, flea/tick preventative, and heartworm preventative, as well as additional services, as needed. Heartworm positive dogs also undergo heartworm treatment, which the rescue covers. The adoption fee covers these costs as well as any local boarding when foster homes are full and the costs of transport.

More about this rescue

Nerdy Paws Animal Rescue is a not-for-profit, volunteer-based animal rescue organization that advocates on behalf of homeless animals abandoned in severely under-resourced shelters throughout the Southeast region of the U.S. We place each adoptable companion into foster homes until his or her perfect "furever" home comes along.

We endeavor to circulate knowledge and promote initiatives that support compassion toward animals, such as responsible companion animal relationships, as well as legislative objectives, policies, and procedures that promote the humane treatment and better overall welfare of our four-legged friends.
