RAVEN - POODLE (UNKNOWN TYPE) / TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Poodle (unknown type) / Terrier / Mixed. Meet Raven - a 5-year-old, 13-pound Poodle mix who is a world-class snuggler and connoisseur of belly rubs once she gets to know you! Raven likely came from a breeding situation in which she wasn't super socialized, resulting in a fear of new things. She needs a home willing to give her the time to open up, but your patience will be rewarded tenfold with Raven charm! What Raven needs in a home: A Patient Family - Raven began trusting her current foster mom after a few weeks. She still isn't sure about her foster dad, so she needs a female human in her home who can show her that boys don't have cooties. Luckily, Raven is highly food-motivated, and you will soon win her heart with cheese, hot dogs, and green beans! A family with a history of working with shy/fearful or puppy mill dogs is a plus! Dogs/Cats/Kids - Raven is more comfortable with other SMALL dogs than people and needs to have a resident small dog(s) to model after, especially while she is learning that people are okay. While she does not live with cats, she would likely do okay with them if they were just coexisting. Raven will need a quiet, kid-free home due to her shy/fearful demeanor. Likes/Dislikes - Raven is a very low-maintenance gal, and all she asks is to be next to her human. She isn't yet super comfortable with the unpredictability of the world on leash, but enjoys roaming around a fenced-in yard. Raven has had a full groom and did absolutely fabulous! House - Raven needs a single-family home with a fenced-in yard. A predictable, quiet home will help her feel safe. Potty Training - While Raven will go outside, she also uses potty pads inside and will likely need to go inside more in the beginning. She will go on potty pads 100% of the time if the surrounding area is wood/hard floor. If there is carpet or rugs, she can't differentiate between that and grass, and will go on the carpet. Crate Training - Raven sees her crate as a safe space and will go in it when needed. Although Raven needs some help with socialization, she will without a doubt wiggle her way right into your heart. **Along with her standard care, Raven has also had a full dental cleaning with extractions.
