About Nora

Nora is an absolutely gorgeous German Shepherd who is quickly approaching her first birthday, born on February 17th, 2025! She is smart as can be, goofy, and friendly. Nora is mostly potty trained, kennel trained, walks well on a leash, and knows a handful of tricks. She loves to "talk" when she's playing, play tug-of-war, and bring random things to her kennel to save for later. She enjoys supervising her foster mom cooking by always laying in sight around dinner time. Nora hasn’t been phased by fireworks or storms, but Halloween decor is definitely suspicious to her on walks. She has many nicknames like Nora-nucci, Ga-nora, Nora-virus, and Nori, and she responds to them all! Nora is just about everything you could want in a young German Shepherd and would be a great addition to a loving home.

Ideal Home

Nora's ideal home will have a 6-foot fence (she can jump shorter fences) and no cats or apartments.

Ongoing Health

All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before adoption.

Training & Support

You definitely need a sense of humor to have Nora in your life.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
  • A $250 donation is requested at the time of adoption to help cover vet bills and care.
  • All adoptions are contingent upon an approved application, home visit, reference check, obedience training agreement, and signing of an adoption contract.
  • Our dogs are companion animals that live indoors as part of your family. Please do not apply if your plan is to have them as outside dogs, garage dogs, porch dogs, or outside kennel dogs.

Transportation

All of our dogs are in private foster homes. We are not a shelter with hours. A visit can be arranged after an adoption questionnaire has been filled out and sent in. We do not ship dogs.
