Meet Kora,
Kora is a beautiful girl who has come such a long way in her time with us. When she first arrived, she was very underweight, but with care (and plenty of meals) she’s blossomed into the healthy, happy girl she is today. It’s no surprise that her love of food remains strong – and it makes training sessions all the more rewarding! She’s smart, trainable, and full of love – the perfect mix of fun and heart.
Best suited to experienced owners, or those familiar with the Rottweiler breed, Kora would thrive in a calm and quiet home where she can feel secure. She’s a wonderful fit for active people or families who enjoy being out and about, as she loves her walks and outdoor adventures.
Kora is a sensitive soul with a big heart. She’s friendly, happy, and incredibly social with people. You’ll quickly discover her playful, curious nature – as well as that classic Rotti streak of stubbornness that only adds to her charm. Affectionate, eager to please, and mostly well-mannered (with a cheeky side), Kora is ready to start her new chapter with people who will love and guide her.
Ideal Home: Kora is fine to live in a standalone home or on a farm/acerage, with a medium to large sized yard, and high secure fencing.
Family: Kora is open to meet kids from 5 years and up - she has a wonderful nature but can sometimes be spooked by big movements - so older kids who are more understanding of her needs is ideal.
She is fine to live with people who work full-time or part-time as she shows no signs of separation anxiety. She is able to spend time in the yard on her own, but would also love to be inside with her new family too - she's the type of dog who thrives from companionship with her owners but she is also not needy. She just wants to feel loved.
Furry Friends: Kora is best to be the only dog in the home. During her dog assessment she was uncomfortable around the other dog - although she was able to walk by other dogs without issue. She is content being the only dog in the home and does not rely on other dogs for companionship.
Kora is not suitable to live with cats/pocket pets.
Training & Development: Kora would benefit from post-adoption training such as training at home to cover basic commands/obedience. Although rare, Kora may jump on you for a cuddle before beginning her day. She's just so grateful for having you look after her and love her that she wants to show you that she appreciates you.
Kora knows her name, and she knows commands such as sit and is eager to learn more.
Kora is food motivated too - so having treats on you during training to mark good behaviour would be an excellent idea as he is very responsive to them. But she can be a little too enthusiastic when she takes them from you.
We always recommend post-adoption training whether it be at home or with a professional. Training doesn’t have to be a chore – it can be a fun experience for you both, it doesn’t have to take long & is a great way for you to bond with your new pal.
Play: Kora has mid to high-range energy needs & would benefit from exercise, play, or walks from 20-30mins every day to keep her happy and healthy. Kora likes to play with soft toys. She also likes to go for walks, socialise with anyone she meets and she adores pats, cuddles and spending time with the people around her.
Kora walks well on lead with only some pulling. She is fine to be walked on either a collar/lead, martingale or harness.
Staff Comments: Kora is a lovely dog but occasionally gets a little scared of big movements. This is something that she is working on and she has come quite a long way. She is most calm when she is around you and being cuddles. She has moments of energetic behaviour and moments of calm. She loves her food and is quite smart and loves to make you proud.
The 3-3-3 Rule of Adopting a Dog
Post Adoption Life: With all animals it’s important to understand that going into a new environment with new people may not be as seamless as we want it to be. It’s important to know that these animals have unknown histories - most are left in the shelter by their owners. The information we have is from observing the animal’s behaviours & reactions to certain stimuli whilst in our care. Adopted animals can take up to 3 months to properly decompress from post-shelter life & a lot of behaviours & quirks may surface during this time. All that we ask is that their new owners have an open mind & are patient.
