About Cora

Everyone has a story and Cora’s is just beginning. Little is known about her first few months. Mom was a stray and Cora was one of many pups. Either in the womb or at birth things went very wrong for Cora. It may have been hypoxy, malnutrition, or something else, but Cora's development was greatly impacted. She started life blind, brain damaged and with a club foot. In spite of this she survived, beating the odds. In her first 3 months she was taken to the shelter with her litter mates, moved to a foster home and then on to surgery. She also found her voice and became a member of the “Darned Independent Women” club. She was loved and admired in her first foster home but she needed more. She came home, while still recovering from the amputation. It's amazing what she's learned in a short time. Even wagging her tail was an early victory. She sits on command (sometimes), plays rowdily, goes for short walks, an is full of mischief. She’s settled in at Critter Cabin and she’s now sharing life with a bunch of other rescues critters and one human. Almost everyone at Critter Cabin has some sort of challenge (except, perhaps) Fezz. Thanks for sharing the journey of Cora and her family.
