Meet Derora, a sweet and resilient girl who has overcome a very difficult past of neglect. She is learning to trust and feel safe, and with patience and love, her gentle, affectionate nature shines through.
Derora thrives in a calm, patient home where she can be the center of attention, as she needs to be an only pet to feel secure and confident. She enjoys quiet companionship, gentle pets, and the comfort of a loving family who can give her the time and care she deserves.
If you're looking for a devoted, loving companion who will reward your patience with trust, loyalty, and affection, Derora is ready to find her forever home.
Volunteer Perspective:
Derora is like candy corn- undeniably sweet, but not for everyone! (I happen to love both!) This playful girl loves toys and treats, but most of all she loves people. When you first meet Derora, she may want to stretch her little legs with some play time. Maybe she'll show off how gently she can take treats. If you give her the opportunity to get close, she will snuggle in like she just can't get enough of you. She doesn't lick and she doesn't demand pats or scratches. She just wants that body to body contact. I think she's smaller than she looks in photos- she's only about a lap and a half dog. So what's the catch? Derora needs to be an only pet. That's it! So if your idea of the perfect dog is one whose favorite place is right beside you, Derora could be exactly your kind of sweet!
