Hello, I'm Ivana

We can't thank the team at PAWS enough for providing us and Cora (formerly Ivana) with the opportunity to be a family!

Ivana's Story

We are thrilled that Cora (short for Corazon-heart, love, dear in Spanish), who was named Ivana when she adopted us, is quickly acclimating to her new home.

Cora is incredibly intelligent, playful, and loving. She is a 34 lb "snuggler" who loves to play tug-of-war, hang out with us, and go on walks. She is incredibly eager to learn and to please, and recently started Adult Manners obedience class.

Cora is highly food motivated, so positive reinforcement/clicker training is a perfect fit! Cora knows her name, sit, up, and touch. She is also improving daily on leash walking since we moved her to a front-clip harness.  We implemented the "two week shut down" with her upon bringing her home and it was a game changer, as she struggled with housetraining issues in her foster home. Not a single accident in the condo so far!  Also, we were thrilled to learn that her latest heartworm test was negative and her exercise restriction will be fully lifted in 2 weeks!
