rayna

Rayna would like to be on the couch with you, and specifically on the part of the couch you are already sitting on.

She is a four year old girl with a blue grey brindle coat, a white chest and four white toes, and a face that gives away everything she is thinking. She is about 65 pounds and carrying a few more than she needs, so somebody is going to get a good walking partner out of this. She is house trained.

She came to us as an owner surrender when the person she belonged to was no longer able to care for her, so we know she has lived in a house and knows how to do it. Four years old means the puppy phase is behind her, and what she wants now is company. She is easy to have around once she knows you, and she is dog friendly, so she does not have to be an only dog. She also thinks a car ride is the best thing that can happen to a day. Any car, any distance, she is in.

A few honest things before you apply. Rayna is watchful the first time she meets someone new, so we are looking for a home where visitors get introduced calmly rather than all at once at the front door. She warms up quickly once that introduction is made. Cats make her nervous and her answer is to leave the room rather than chase, but a home without a cat is the easier fit for her. She has not been around children that we know of, so we cannot tell you how she would do living with them.

We prefer to schedule appointments for meet and greets to make sure someone is available to spend time with you. The shelter is open Monday through Friday, 12pm to 4pm, and appointments outside of those hours may be available based on volunteer availability.
