Raven is on the market!!!


 Raven is looking for someone to play with...other than "Flo" her friendly reflection. She didn't pass the "dog test" to be a service dog so she is officially "ON THE MARKET". Raven couldn't ignore other dogs. She gets distracted by them & wants to play. The good news is some lucky family out there has an amazing opportunity to welcome this sweet, smart pup into their home!! Why is she so wonderful? Just look at her!!!
Plus....

Raven & her friend Trigger had a blast playing
 ...she loves other dogs, people- kids especially & so far has even managed to keep her chicken chases to a minimum. She will sniff their butts... SO FUNNY! Raven is fully crate trained. Those of you who have ever lived through the process of getting a puppy crate trained appreciate that. Raven would do just fine in an apartment. The whole time we've had her our yard has been under major construction so we've been taking her out leashed to potty & for walks. We exercise her by retrieving - which she LOVES.  She had a few accidents when we first got her in October, then 3 or 4 after her spay last month but otherwise is 100% houstrained. We believe she is a lab mix - mixed with what is the big question? She runs like a Whippet, with her butt tucked & her ears are kinda Whippet-ish (if that's a word?) She is much smaller than a lab. Raven constantly impressed us with her smarts. She learns commands sooooo quickly & adapts with minimal correction. She knows: Sit, Down, Over, Stay, Kennel, Bed. She walks well on a leash & takes treat gently form you fingers. When meeting new peoples she gets very happy but does NOT submissive pee. She will on occasion jump but it only takes 1 or 2 corrections & she gets the picture quickly. Raven is not much of a barker, but will bark if someone rings the bell or knocks. Once they are in the house she is all wiggles & can't wait to play.  She weighs about 32 lbs & is about 6 months old. She has all her shots, spayed & microchipped---- A COMPLETE PACKAGE!!!
