A spunky dog found the perfect forever home after being rejected by a chihuahua in a happy change of luck.
The San Diego, California-based Italian greyhound named Nori may not have had the best start to life, but her life is full of love and playfulness now.
In an interview with GeoBeats Animals, Nori’s owner, Victoria, explained that Nori was living with a woman who got her to keep a chihuahua company.
She said, “she and her husband are gone for most of the day but the Chihuahua ended up absolutely hating Nori.”
Considering Nori was only invited into the home for the chihuahua’s sake, the woman decided to rehome the sweet dog and that’s where Victoria stepped up to help.
Victoria ended up adopting the dog from the woman and it was only a matter of time before little Nori unleashed her speed and full personality at her new home!
Instead of being rejected for her quirks and personality, Nori is being celebrated with her new family and that’s a beautiful thing.

I am broadly interested in how human activities influence the ability of wildlife to persist in the modified environments that we create.
Specifically, my research investigates how the configuration and composition of landscapes influence the movement and population dynamics of forest birds. Both natural and human-derived fragmenting of habitat can influence where birds settle, how they access the resources they need to survive and reproduce, and these factors in turn affect population demographics. Most recently, I have been studying the ability of individuals to move through and utilize forested areas which have been modified through timber harvest as they seek out resources for the breeding and postfledging phases. As well I am working in collaboration with Parks Canada scientists to examine in the influence of high density moose populations on forest bird communities in Gros Morne National Park. Many of my projects are conducted in collaboration or consultation with representatives of industry and government agencies, seeking to improve the management and sustainability of natural resource extraction.
