Raven is a large, black labrador retriever mix in Mineola, TX. She's an adult female with a medium-length coat. Raven is spayed and has her vaccinations up to date. She gets along well with both dogs and children, but her energetic nature and high jumps make her better suited for families with older kids.

About Raven

Raven is an energetic lab mix with a sleek black coat and a strong desire to run—she’ll sprint as long as you’ll let her. She might have some greyhound or afghan hound in her, given how much she loves racing around. Sweet and people-focused, Raven has a big, affectionate personality and greets everyone with enthusiasm (including jumping up to say hi with a kiss, right on the mouth if you aren’t ready). She enjoys the company of adults and kids of all ages, but because of her tendency to jump, she’s not the best fit for homes with small children who could get knocked over. She’s microchipped, spayed, and current on her vaccinations. House training is still a question, but she’s smart and full of potential for someone ready to help her learn. Raven would do well with an active adopter who loves getting outside and is ready for a dog who doubles as a running companion—expect energy, affection, and silly moments with this girl.
