8-12-2024 Judy update:Raven has been waiting for a home since 2019!!!! I took her home this weekend and she followed me around the house. She went outside to potty, came back inside and cuddled on her floor bed. Raven has enjoyed laying on the living room waching TV. At night, I could not find her....she was sleeping in my bed on my pillows.This is the best dog:) I was in tears to see her personality change. Please open your heart and home to this sweetheart. I love this wonderful dog, and so will you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~From Raven: My name is Raven, and I was on my own in the woods for so long trying hard to survive. A nice lady rescued me and took me to Judy who made me healthy. That was way back in 2019. Yes, it is true!  I have been waiting since 2019 for a home. Wow!  Can you imagine how happy I would be if I knew the joy of a real home and jumping on the couch to cuddle with my human or just having a backyard of my own in which to play?   Because of my unfortunate background, I am naturally shy with new people, but I warm up and truly would love my own special someone on whom I could bestow my love and devotion. Even though I am a little bit older, there is a bunch of play in me, and I especially like a hard plastic ball.  When you throw balls for me, I may or may not bring it back….depends on my mood. LOL!    Because I am shy and uncertain, it would be lovely to have someone who is home most of the day.l. Honestly, I am just the sweetest girl ever and I know we would love each other so much. It is so hard to see other dogs keep getting picked and here I sit, still waiting after all this time for my very own home that is adult only and I am the one and only pet. More About Raven: The word “rescue” is meant for dogs like Raven who desperately needed to be rescued from her dangerous situation and now very much needs a family to rescue/bring her into their home. This incredibly sweet girl has so much love to offer. Just look into her eyes and you will see liquid love. Raven will need a patient, caring family to slowly bring out the best in her and let her blossom into her best doggie self.     She needs a home with a securely fenced backyard, as walks (at least for now) are pretty scary for her.  Who knows what she may have endured living in the woods? She enjoys playing in the yard with a ball, but then appreciates a nice cozy nap. When it is time to do her business, she needs the backyard in which to potty because she will not go on leash. This is not uncommon in the doggie world. Do you have a big heart for rescues? Then please consider Raven. She needs an adult only home that is calm and quiet with no other pets and with owners who are home pretty much all day every day to help build her self-confidence. This super gentle, super beautiful girl has so much love and joy to offer; it is buried inside just waiting to be brought out by that special loving adopter/foster who will be well rewarded with a devoted furry companion.   Please open your heart to Raven and fill out an application to come meet her!
