UKIAH, CA., 4/7/26 — This week’s Featured Pet is Nora, available for adoption through the Ukiah Animal Shelter.
Meet Nora — an 80‑pound bundle of sweetness wrapped in a mellow, gentle soul. At just two years old, this beautiful Lab mix has already lived through too much hardship. She arrived at the shelter after surviving on the streets for quite some time, and despite being in rough shape, her spirit never dimmed. Nora greets every new day — and every new person — with soft eyes, a wagging tail, and a heart full of hope. Nora is the definition of a gentle companion. She loves soaking up affection, leaning in for pets, and quietly enjoying the company of the people around her. Walks are one of her favorite activities, not because she’s high‑energy, but because she loves exploring the world at an easy pace with someone by her side. If you’re looking for a calm, loving, people‑oriented dog who wants nothing more than to be cherished and safe, Nora is your girl. She’s ready for a home where she can finally relax, heal, and be adored the way she deserves.
