Coraline (female)

Intake date: 10/4/2026

Shih Tzu/ Yorkie mix

2 years old

Intake weight: 4.12 pounds

Adoption fee: $300, which includes vetting, microchip

Benefactor Dog: When we have a popular dog, we dub them a “Benefactor Dog”. A Benefactor Dog will have an above average adoption fee. In other words, for OTHER dogs where the adoption fee is minimal or waived due to age, health or some other reason (although we’ve likely spent hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars) a Benefactor dog will help us somewhat make up the shortfall. If this dog has an above-average adoption fee, she/he is a Benefactor Dog.

Good with other dogs: yes

Cats: unknown – we do not have cats to be able to test

Vetting and other: altered (spayed), some puppy teeth removed, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm negative, fecal negative, on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention, microchipped

Health issues: none observed.

Temperament: very sweet and sassy; at 4 pounds she will rule the roost (it's always the tiniest who have the biggest personalities); she is very social and friendly.

Energy level: medium

Groom needs: high maintenance; requires regular professional grooming, along with intermittent brushing to avoid matting (as for grooming, according to the previous vet records sent to us, she got an oral sedative - Alprazolam -before she was groomed.

Biography: Coraline came in with Cider as owner-surrenders. The owners work too much and the dogs were having to be kenneled for long lengths of time. They wanted better for them so they contacted us. Please no negative comments. Coraline has only known one home and they've had her since she was 6 weeks old. Coraline travels well and walks ok on a leash but it's not something she's accustomed to. The previous owners indicated she is timid and not social, but we find that to be the opposite. She came in like a torpedo at our rescue like she'd been there forever. We find that she's very social and not timid at all. She may be a little at first, but she quickly got over that. It was reported that she is a lap dog and we've definitely confirmed she loves to be held and be in someone's lap. We believe someone out there will see her and think "oh... she needs me in her life!".

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

*We do adopt out of state provided the adopter is willing and able to travel to us once approved. We do not ship or transport our animals and there is no exception to this rule.

*Most of our adoptable dogs are small, and they are never to be left outside alone, ever! We only rehome our dogs to adopters that plan to have them as inside dogs and part of the family! We do allow adopters with doggie doors, provided there is SECURE fencing and the dog is over 15 pounds. There is no exception to this rule!

*PREDATORS: IF THIS DOG IS UNDER 10 POUNDS, the dog is to be monitored and protected when outside at all times! PREDATOR-THREAT IS A REAL DANGER! For example, a hawk tried to pick up a Chihuahua owned by a friend visiting Ninna’s house… RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE VISITOR. Thankfully the visitor was watching the dog and the hawk was wrestled off of the Chihuahua but it did require an ER visit and she is was very lucky to survive. TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!

*NO SMALL CHILDREN!! As with almost all the dogs at NR2R, young children or a very active household is not recommended. Many of our dogs come to us BECAUSE of small children, thus we do not rehome our dogs to homes with babies or young children. KEEP THIS IN MIND IF YOU HAVE VISITING GRANDCHILDREN AS WELL! Even if
