Hello, meet Raven. She has all the love and potential to be your forever houseguest. Worried about the rising cost of inflation? Raven will lower your water bill by eliminating the need for showers as she will bathe you in kisses. Raven also eliminates the need for your heat to be on as she herself is a heated, weighted, snuggling blanket. We have can now send our dog to college by the amount of money we’ve saved in utilities by fostering Raven.
 
All jokes aside…
 
Once Raven discovered love, she decided she couldn’t get enough of it. If you want a low riding- pitbull who snuggles you with her whole body and melts into you when you touch her, this is your gal.
 
When she gets the zoomies you better move your coffee tables out of the way! She’s a playful girl who lacks spacial awareness.
 
Raven has won over my grumpy, senior pitbull. With time, she learned exactly how he wanted to play and she fell into a submissive role. He even taught her how to make little gremlin noises when she plays.
 
Raven is very silly when it comes to food. She is selective on her treats (first dog I’ve met that doesn’t like hot dogs) but she will scrunch her face and shake her head to say “no thank you”. When she finds a treat she likes, she will do pretty much anything you want for it. She so far has mastered “sit”, “down” and “stay” and is working on “place”. Her recall is pretty good too!
 
Raven is still learning how to live in a home. With structure and patience, she has shown that she can succeed. She needs a bit more work on potty training and learning what can and can’t be chewed on (sharp little teeth!) but she’s a fast learner who is treat motivated and is eager to please. Raven loves to be outside but is still learning how to walk right next to you. She’s a bit of a leash puller, but with a double leashed harness it is manageable, though she is strong. She has so much love and thinks that everyone wants to be her friend, so when walking by people she wants to jump up and say hello- this is something we’re working on.
 
We have noticed the beginnings of resource guarding (from other dogs) for her food bowl and human food, but putting her in her crate during meals and then removing her bowl when she finishes easily avoids this.
 
Raven is a gem in her crate. She’ll go in with a treat and stay in there quietly until you let her out. She sleeps in her crate throughout the whole night and is happy to sleep in as late as (you) want to.
 
Raven would thrive in a house that has the love for life and energy that she has. She needs a good walk or run each day, someone to tug or throw a ball to her, and give her lots of love. She has shown to be good with another large dog (with a slower intro) and is perfectly content with the city life.  She is not a barker. She is proving to be a good work from home buddy and can self-entertain or nap. Raven would be an amazing addition to anyone lucky enough to adopt her and love her forever!
