My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Raquel: A Playful Spirit Seeking Her Forever Home

Raquel is a beautiful, high-energy mix and our longest-term resident. While she started as a stray, she is currently thriving in a foster home and proving what a loyal companion she truly is.

Raquel loves winter! She bounces through the snow like a baby deer and even plays fetch with herself by `hiding` and `finding` her toys. She is mastering crate training and `drop it” (swapping toys for treats). She is an excellent communicator who will let you know exactly when she needs to go outside. Though shy at first—especially around tall men—she warms up quickly. Once she feels safe, she’ll be crawling into your lap for cuddles.

Raquel prefers to be the solo star of the household (no other dogs or cats). She does amazingly well with the older children in her foster family. She’d love a family that enjoys fetch, outdoor walks, and continuing her training. She needs a family willing to give her a few minutes to decompress when meeting new people.

Raquel is a loyal soul who just needs a patient family willing to give her a few minutes to decompress when meeting new people. In return, she’ll give you a lifetime of love.

Raquel is spayed prior to adoption and has received core vaccinations (bordetella, canine distemper, rabies), flea + tick preventative, has been dewormed, and is microchipped.

If you are interested in adopting Raquel, reach out to us at 920-733-1717 or adopt@foxvalleypets.org. You can also make an appointment online or feel free to take a peek during our open hours!
