Kora

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 7 months

This is Kora. 7 months old, 19 kg. Future large size. She is the puppy they brought to the kennel in Corigliano and we took over. At first she was a bit shy (she's been with us since the end of July), but then she learned to trust us... she's not a dog that celebrates with you if she doesn't know you yet, but she becomes friendly quickly... she loves the company of other dogs and she has no problem with children, on the contrary... we would say she likes them very much and respects them very much. Of course, a big black dog in Italy has no chance, but the thought that she would have grown up in that miserable kennel and would have been irretrievable is an unimaginable thought for us. She is fully vaccinated with two vaccinations and vaccinated against rabies. Who has a free place for the sweet one?

Das ist Kora. 7 Monate alt, 19 kg. Zukünftig grosse Grösse. Sie ist der Welpe, den sie in den Zwinger in Corigliano gebracht haben und den wir übernommen haben. Am Anfang war sie etwas schüchtern (sie ist seit Ende Juli bei uns), aber dann hat sie gelernt, uns zu vertrauen … sie ist kein Hund, der mit dir feiert, wenn sie dich noch nicht kennt, aber sie wird schnell freundlich … sie liebt die Gesellschaft anderer Hunde und sie hat kein Problem mit Kindern, im Gegenteil … wir würden sagen, dass sie sie sehr mag und sie sehr respektiert. Natürlich hat ein großer schwarzer Hund in Italien keine Chance, aber der Gedanke, dass sie in diesem lausigen Zwinger aufgewachsen wäre und unrettbar gewesen wäre, ist für uns ein unvollstellbarer Gedanke. Sie ist mit zwei Impfungen grundimmunisiert und gegen Tollwut geimpft. Wer hat einen freien Platz für die Süsse?

About Kora

What life with Kora looks like

Kora is a large puppy mixed breed dog waiting at SOS Strassenhunde in Sos Strassenhunde.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇨🇭Adopting from Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Many animals leave sterilized and chipped, but confirm with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kora, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kora?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. SOS Strassenhunde handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kora on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kora if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask SOS Strassenhunde whether they will for Kora, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Kora already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: SOS Strassenhunde lists Kora as vaccinated. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by SOS Strassenhunde, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Kora isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask SOS Strassenhunde about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kora and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
