My story

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

Hello there, my name is Raven! <br/><br/>Im a beautiful 5-year-old Akita mix with a calm, independent spirit and a quiet appreciation for the finer things in life. Im not one for chaos-I prefer a peaceful home where I can mind my own business and enjoy my space. Id be happiest as your one-and-only dog, but I could also share my home with a mellow canine companion who respects my boundaries and keeps things low-key.<br/><br/>I truly am the finest companion west of the Mississippi. I get to spend my days sharing an office with 2 staff members and they RAVE about me. I appreciate getting my ears scratched when they have time, but I am perfectly content to listen to their phone conversations and between themselves or greeting visitors to their office. They are 2 busy people and are gone from their office too which doesnt bother me at all. I patiently wait for their return. <br/><br/>I only have once complaint about sharing their office. The office does not have any windows. My favorite pastime is stretching out in a warm sunbeam with a good bully stick to chew on. Its pure bliss. Do you have at least one window where the sun shines through? Man, I would enjoy that but no worries if you dont. I will be your devoted companion, no matter what. I love companionship, but I also value my independence and would make a wonderful match for someone who understands and appreciates a dog with a dignified, relaxed nature.<br/><br/>If youre looking for a loyal, serene, chill companion who will bring quiet comfort and grace into your life, I might just be your girl. Come meet Ms. Raven today-Id love to show you just how special I am.<br/><br/>Love to the moon and back,<br/><br/>RAVEN
