Korra the dog awaits adoption after 152 days

Korra, a six-year-old Labrador mix, is still looking for a home after spending 152 days in a New Jersey shelter. She was surrendered by her owner and has not yet found an adopter. Korra is friendly and loves being around people. The Friends of Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter care for Korra. They say she is spayed, microchipped, and current on her vaccinations. Korra is also good on a leash and knows commands. However, she must be the only pet in the home. Older children or calm adults would be suitable for her. Life in the shelter has been tough for Korra. While she enjoys human companionship, she struggles with the stressful environment. She is described as a "total sweetheart" who loves snuggles, walks, and playing with toys. Although she may be shy initially, she warms up quickly. In 2024, 3.12 million animals entered U.S. shelters, according to Shelter Animals Count. This number is lower than in 2023, but overcrowding remains a serious issue. Many shelters are operating at full capacity, and animals are sometimes housed in temporary spaces. The Friends of Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter hopes to find Korra a loving home soon. They are dedicated to helping shelter animals find permanent families. Korra is currently waiting at the Manahawkin shelter. The organization aims for all their dogs to be adopted into caring households.
