About Ray

Meet Ray! This handsome boy is one of our Princess and the Frog puppies, and he’s a big, lovable guy at about 4.5 months old and weighing around 40 pounds. We expect he’ll grow into a large dog, likely with a mix of Lab or Golden Retriever and possibly Mastiff or Shepherd. Whatever his background, he’s bound to be a striking companion. Ray has already impressed us with his intelligence; he hasn’t had a single accident since joining us and is nearly potty trained. He’s good with other dogs and shows potential to be a confident, friendly companion. Snuggling and playing with his bones are among his favorite activities, embodying the joyful spirit of puppyhood. You might notice his skin is a bit rough. Ray and his siblings were abandoned in a swamp in Northern Florida, which led to some neglect. His skin issues aren't contagious, and he's currently on a regimen of medication and proper nutrition for healing. We anticipate seeing significant improvement as he recovers. Ray is full of promise, and we look forward to seeing him flourish into the beautiful boy he’s destined to be. Who wouldn’t want to meet this sweet, smart pup?
