Sora (Paws2Rescue, fostered Cheshire)

23/03/2024 Gentle Sora is now happily settled in her new home.

Sora is a 13-year-old lady who is being rehomed by Paws2Rescue and is fostered in Cheshire.

Sora’s loving owner heartbreakingly passed away. Sora is a typical gentle giant (75cm tall): a large girl with an enormous heart and lovely character. She is incredibly friendly and loves people, she is great with visitors and will always quietly and politely say hello to everyone. She doesn’t mind other dogs and doesn’t chase cats nor birds. She’s currently living with pet chickens and doesn’t show any prey drive at all.

Sora is fit, healthy and sprightly for an older girl, but she does enjoy a calm pace of life. She will happily walk for 15-20 minutes per day, but she loves lounging on the sofa more than anything. She walks perfectly well on a lead but prefers to stick to a known route, and sometimes, especially when the weather is bad, needs a little encouragement to go outside. She can get car sick.

She is a very quiet and gentle girl, not expressing more than a little whine when she feels unsettled or wants a cuddle. She loves to curl up on the sofa every evening and sleeps for large parts of the day. Sora is very gentle and submissive. She happily shares everything with the three resident dogs at her current home. Despite her large size, she is the bottom of the pecking order in the pack and would never stand up for herself – instead she would just walk away. Therefore she would like to live as an only dog, or with a gentle, easy-going dog as she could be easily bullied by a more dominant, boisterous one. There is not a nasty bone in Sora’s body!

Sora is such a wonderful dog with a very loving and kind personality. She would suit a family or owner with a calm way of life. She doesn’t mind visiting children, but she would struggle to adjust to a very busy, chaotic household, so a home with no resident children would be best for her.

Sora has dental issues that are currently being treated. She has a benign fatty lump on her side that the vet has checked and says should just be left. There are signs of cataracts starting in her eyes.
