Meet Nora, a sweet and gentle girl with the biggest, kindest eyes! Nora can be a little shy and nervous when meeting new people, but once she feels safe and comfortable, she loves spending time with the people she trusts. She's also a big fan of cookies, so a tasty treat or two is always a great way to win her heart!
Nora is looking for a patient and understanding family who will give her the time and space she needs to settle in and build her confidence. With plenty of kindness and maybe a few cookies along the way, Nora is sure to become a very special companion!
