About Raven

Raven is a striking name for a striking dog, reflecting intelligence and loyalty. This female poodle/schnauzer mix has a glossy black coat and an even more watchful demeanor. At about 39 lbs and estimated to be between 5 and 6 years old, she brings a blend of playfulness and gentleness to every moment. Having been found wandering the streets of a rural North Carolina town, Raven came with a heavy mat of fur that needed careful grooming. It’s poignant to think about the uncertainty she must have felt. Thankfully, when she finally received the care she deserved, she exhibited patience, even dozing off during her bath. Raven does well with basic commands like sit, stay, and come. She enjoys a good game of fetch and walks well on a leash, making her a great companion for car rides, whether in a golf cart or a truck. She can be quite selective with other dogs, and a home setting without canine companions would be the best fit for her. However, she gets along well with cats and overall seeks a cozy spot on the sofa to cuddle with her human. She needs someone patient who can help her settle into her new home as she struggles with being left alone. Raven’s past may be a mystery, but her capacity for love is clear. When she carries a toy or snuggles up next to you, she shows what it means to be a loyal friend. To make Raven part of your family, please reach out for more information.
