all adopters before arranging in-person meetings. Please scroll down below animal description for current status of our dogs (to see if this dog is still available) and adoption information. COURTESY LISTING Raleigh is currently in foster with a rescue in WV. She will not be coming into foster with Happy Dog Rescue, but the WV rescue does accept applications from northeastern adopters. If you would like to give Raleigh a forever home, please visit artbar.petfinder.com to apply to adopt her. Transport is available to northeastern states. Rescue inquiries are also welcome. Raleigh is fully vetted and sponsored for rescue. Available to adopters in DE, MD, PA, NJ, CT, or MA. Approx 7 years and 55 lb Raleigh survived terrible owners, being hit by cars twice, several surgeries, and months in boarding until she'd healed enough to come home to foster. One leg is not very useful, but the vet was at least able to save the leg. She deserves the best family ever...are you that family? I tested her with a cat outside that wasn't afraid of dogs and she didn't show any interest in the cat. I don't know if she would chase a cat that runs from dogs, but honestly she doesn't move that quickly so I doubt she could catch a cat these days. As far as other dogs, Raleigh is fine with males but acts dominant/bossy around females. Raleigh is good with kids My niece and nephew visited. They are 8 and 13 but she did great and so did they. She's a sweet dog who deserves so much more than life has thrown at her so far. We're hoping someone can find it in their heart to give her a forever home. Due to spinal cord damage, most of which has recovered, Raleigh is occasionally fecal incontinent. She is able to hold her urine. A doggie door to a fenced yard would be very helpful for her.
