Hi there, I’m a sweet girl named Kora and I appear to be a Corgi/Terrier mix but my shelter records say I’m a Chihuahua mix. I mean, this is Laredo Texas, so I’m probably part Chihuahua like most other dogs around here, LOL. I am 6 years old, weigh 28 lbs, and last year I was a very pregnant stray dog when brought to the animal shelter and then to a dog rescue just in time to have 6 gorgeous puppies who grew up to be tall and beautiful and not one of them looked like me or anything like a Chihuahua. I was a wonderful mama, patient and loving. I am sweet and submissive, but it will take me a little time to come out of my shell and ask for affection, but once I do, I enjoy pets and tummy rubs, sharing kisses, playing with doggy toys, and playing with the other foster dogs. Mostly I am still a couch potato, quiet and unassuming, and my foster mom says I make the perfect TV companion/sleeping buddy. I am a good girl at home, calm and well-behaved with no chewing on your things or digging in the yard, only bark to alert you to something important, and I do not guard my food or my toys. I do not have separation anxiety and am perfectly fine when home alone or with a doggy companion. I am good in a crate and completely housebroken and will use a doggy door to potty outside and I also know how to use a potty pad. I do not mind going for a ride in the car, but the leash is another story. I am still nervous about it. I am working on it though, in baby steps, learning to build some confidence. I have come a long way since I was first found, and I’m ready to take that final step, leave my foster home in Texas, and find a real forever home somewhere in or near Connecticut.
* 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.

Please DO NOT apply unless the entire family / household is on board with adopting one of our dogs. We must receive an application for you to move forward in the process. Thoughtful direct emails are welcome and will be answered. However, an application is still a necessary step. We want to make sure we find our dogs a perfect fit with a family so both the dog and the family are happy. We keep our dogs with fosters once we get them out of shelters for a little bit to learn and understand their personalities. Our relationship with families doesn't stop at adoption! We are always available for any follow up questions and are happy to be a resource as you and your new pet settle into a routine.
