Cora

When I photographed Cora, I had a special request from the Animal Care Specialist from Needy Paws Animal Shelter.  She wanted to know if they could get the pic ASAP. You see, only a few hours before coming for her photo session, Cora had been diagnosed with heart worms. Heart worms prevention is relatively easy with a monthly pill, but treatment is costly. And for a girl like Cora living without her very own loving human - it could be a death sentence.
NPAS is so good to find homes, but this girl would need someone ready to take on a vet bill right from the beginning. Someone that loved Samoyeds deeply and knew she had a sweet personality and that she would be well worth the treatment. In that case, they needed to cast the net wider in a search for her human - through the internet.
Is Cora lucky or unlucky? Well definitely unlucky to have contracted heart worms - which are very common in Arkansas. But lucky to find herself at Needy Paws in Clarksville, so she could be diagnosed, adopted, and treated.
