Coraline is the perfect mix of playful yet laid-back, independent yet loving, and goofy yet intuitive – your future best friend and sidekick.

Ideal Home

Coraline is a low to medium energy pup who enjoys short bursts of play. She would thrive in a home that balances adventure with relaxation, enjoying leisurely walks, hikes, patio outings, or cozy evenings on the couch. She loves being involved in her family's daily routine and is happy with short walks and backyard play sessions, but will happily join longer adventures. Puzzle toys and chew toys will keep her entertained. She would benefit from a home where she can gain more confidence in busy public areas with continued exposure and socialization. She would absolutely adore a family that includes her in their outdoor adventures while also appreciating her calm, affectionate nature at home. A fenced yard is a must for her to run and play. No apartments or condos due to her size and potential nervousness in busy areas. She needs to have her human home more often than not, but would do well with doggy daycare a few days a week.

Ongoing Health

Coraline is potty trained and kennel trained. She is currently working on leash training and needs additional practice to build confidence on walks. She is up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, has been spayed, microchipped, and is on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. She has received a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian and has had any necessary veterinary care while in rescue.
