Aurora was found as a stray tied to a tree in a park and brought to the shelter by police. She is a wiggly, friendly dog who seeks attention and enjoys being picked up and held. Aurora is curious and soft-bodied, but she can be timid and startle easily, so she likes to approach new people and situations on her own terms.
My Ideal Home
Aurora would do best in a calm, quiet home where she can acclimate at her own pace. She needs patient adopters experienced with dogs who require gentle introductions and guidance. Daily mental and physical enrichment, such as long-lasting chews, food puzzles, hide-and-seek games, and walks, will help her thrive.
Good with Kids?
No - Aurora is fearful and prefers contact on her own terms, so she is not suited for homes with young children under 5.
Good with Other Pets?
No specific history with other dogs or cats. She should have slow, supervised introductions to other pets due to her shy and fearful nature.
Leash Manners
Aurora walks loosely on leash with minimal pulling and allows herself to be picked up. She may whine or spin when collared or approached initially, so calm, slow handling is recommended.
Overall Health
Healthy overall. Aurora has a heart murmur (grade 3/6) and a retained deciduous tooth that will need follow-up care post-adoption. She will likely need a dental cleaning with extractions as well as an appointment with a cardiologist.
Behavior Determination
Level 2 - Experienced Adopters. Aurora benefits from gentle handling, structured introductions, and a patient home environment. She should never be forced to interact and needs adopters who respect her boundaries.
Other Fun Facts
Aurora loves to wiggle, hop into laps, and be picked up. She spins in circles when excited or nervous and enjoys slow, soft petting. With the right guidance, she can be playful and affectionate, thriving in a calm home that allows her to explore and build confidence.
