She was sadly abandoned when her previous family moved, but that hasn’t dampened her gentle spirit or friendly disposition. While Raven can be selective with other dogs, she thrives in a structured environment where she understands what’s expected of her. She needs a confident adopter with experience in setting clear, kind boundaries. Once she feels safe and secure, Raven is a well-natured, loving companion who will reward you with deep loyalty and affection. Raven finds comfort in the quirky things—like jumping on her beloved trampoline when she’s feeling excited or anxious. (Yes, her trampoline comes with her!) She’s house-trained, loves routine, and does well with older children who understand her boundaries.
