Sora is our original (but not our only) Office Dog and unofficial morale officer. When she’s not greeting guests with a wagging tail, she’s busy “inspecting” trash cans, napping in David’s office, and making sure everyone takes enough breaks for belly rubs. She’s a rescue with zero formal education or experience in the marina business. She’s never even been on a boat, but she is proud to call the offices of Resilient Marinas her home some days of the week. She’s actively recruiting other dogs to join her on the unofficial team, but none of them have been able to sit still long enough for a good headshot.
