Coral's Story
Meet Coral<br/><br/>Coral's story started in survival mode... running scared along a freeway and the surrounding hills, wearing a shiny new harness—but too afraid to understand that people were trying to help - just a puppy. For weeks, she stayed just out of reach. Sightings came in, posts were shared, and people searched... but Coral kept running.<br/><br/>Then she disappeared.<br/><br/>Three months later, she showed back up—this time without her harness, and even more unsure of the world around her. Kind people put food out, hoping she'd stay. She lingered... then vanished again.<br/><br/>Another month passed before Coral returned once more—and this time, she was safely humanely trapped.<br/><br/>We waited. Surely someone was missing her.<br/>But no one came.<br/><br/>The most surprising part?<br/>Coral is just a big puppy—and it's clear that at some point, she was loved.<br/><br/>Because once she felt safe... her true personality came bursting through. Coral loves people—especially kids. She's the one who pushes to the front at events, eager to say hello, soaking up attention like it's her favorite thing in the world.<br/><br/>She's silly, expressive, a little goofy, and full of life. Her wrinkly brows and bright eyes say everything she's thinking—and usually it's something fun.<br/><br/>She may have been scared out there on her own... but this girl absolutely knows what it means to be part of a family.<br/><br/>Perks <br/><br/> LOVES people, including kids<br/> Total trick star—knows: Sit, Down, Shake (both paws), High Five, Wave, Roll Over, Leave It<br/> Highly food motivated (will do anything for snacks!)<br/> Goofy, playful, and full of personality<br/> Expressive face with the best wrinkly brows<br/> Thinks life is a party and wants to be part of it - even better if dress up and a tea party are involved<br/><br/>Needs <br/><br/> Flight risk – requires secure handling at all times <br/> Must be crated when unattended<br/> Solid leash handling (she's a big, lanky girl!)<br/> Awareness of doors, gates, and windows is critical<br/> No off-leash activity in unfenced areas for life<br/> Best as your one-and-only pup<br/> Will benefit from structure and continued training<br/><br/>Ideal Home<br/><br/>Coral is looking for someone who loves a fun, social, people-oriented dog. She would benefit from a home that's committed to continuing her training and refining her manners, as well as have an active lifestyle to match her energy and enthusiasm. Her perfect someone would appreciate a big personality and wants a dog that's truly part of the family.<br/><br/>Coral is ready to leave her survival days behind and step fully into the life she was always meant to have... with you.
