About Raven

Raven is a charming young Chihuahua in need of a foster-to-adopt home. This small, sweet girl is shy but affectionate, and we’re eager to learn more about her personality in the coming days. Due to her delicate disposition, we have specific requirements for her foster family. Potential adopters must live within 80 miles of Adams, NY, and have current pets that are regularly seen by a veterinarian and up to date on their vaccinations. There’s also a need for Raven to be able to return to the vet in Adams if any medical care is required before adoption. A fenced yard is preferred since she can be timid while on a leash. Families interested must be ready for meet and greets to ensure compatibility and must dedicate time to care for, socialize, and train their new furry friend. Although there is no adoption fee for fostering, an adoption donation of $550 will be requested upon formal adoption. Raven has had her initial vet check and is current on vaccines; she’ll be spayed before adoption. This lovely girl is ready to find her forever home—could it be with you? Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
