Pet of the Week: Help Rewrite Dora’s Story
By Staff Writer
Published on Thu, Apr 23, 2026
Every pet has a story—and this week, it’s Dora’s turn to tell her “tail” as she waits patiently at Long Beach Animal Care Services, ready for her next chapter to begin.
Dora is a 7-year-old female German Shepherd mix weighing 65 pounds, with gentle eyes and a warm spirit. She’s a beautiful, mature girl with so much love to give. From her spotted fur to her relaxed, tongue-out smile, Dora carries herself with the calm confidence of a dog who’s seen a bit of life and is ready for something better.
Dora has classic Shepherd loyalty and would thrive with someone who appreciates her smart, devoted nature. Whether it’s lounging by your side, going for walks or simply being part of your daily routine, Dora is ready to be there.
