Meet Sora Sora is a precious little girl whose story is only just beginning, and we hope her next chapter leads her straight to a family of her own. Sora and her four siblings, Apex, Breaker, Calyx, and Nyx, were dropped off by the police at a shelter in Mississippi. Their mama was not found, leaving these little puppies without the comfort and protection they should have had at such a young age. Their story began with uncertainty, but Sora still has her whole life ahead of her. We want her future to look very different from her beginning: full of gentle hands, warm beds, playful afternoons, and people who will never stop showing her how much she matters. As she grows, Sora will need a family ready for all the wonderful and sometimes messy parts of raising a puppy. She will need guidance, patience, training, and plenty of opportunities to explore the world around her. In return, her family will get to watch her personality blossom and build a bond that will last a lifetime. Every puppy deserves the chance to grow up feeling safe and loved. Sora is no exception. Please consider opening your heart and home to this little girl. She deserves a beautiful life, and we hope you might be the one to give it to her. Please remember that adoption bios are only a snapshot of each animal. They are meant to give you a glimpse into their personality and story, but there is so much more to learn. Please reach out to our Adoption Team for additional information about Sora and to learn if she may be the right fit for your home. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption.

🧠 Temperament
We want her future to look very different from her beginning: full of gentle hands, warm beds, playful afternoons, and people who will never stop…. Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog.
🎾 Exercise
Depends on the individual. A daily walk plus play is the baseline; ask the foster how the dog behaves after a quiet day.
✂️ Grooming
Varies with coat type. Short coats need little; longer or double coats need regular brushing.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
Mixes are often excellent city dogs. Building breed restrictions are usually enforced on what a dog looks like, so ask the rescue how the dog is typically identified.
