Story
Animal Information: Raya is an approximately 7 month old, 7 pound Chihuahua who came to the Stanislaus shelter as part of an animal welfare case, where she and 18 other dogs were lovingly cared for by shelter staff while the District Attorney's office worked through the legal process. Once the dogs were finally released and available for rescue, we knew we had to help. Raya, along with Tasha, Littles, and Cooper, all came from the same home. Although she's a little shy at first, Raya has been incredibly sweet with the shelter staff and just needs a little time to feel safe and let her personality shine. We can't wait to welcome Raya to the Pacific Northwest and show her what the good life is all about! Foster Profile: Raya has settled into her Seattle foster home and continues to gain confidence every day. While she's still a little timid in new situations, she has really opened up over the past few weeks and is showing everyone what a happy, joyful little pup she is. Raya is friendly, curious, and playful. She loves dragging around toys that are almost bigger than she is and enjoys playing with stuffies. One of her favorite activities is zooming around the yard, showing off her playful energy. When she's not playing, Raya has a sweet and affectionate side. She'll gently boop you with her nose to say hello and is perfectly happy to curl up next to you on the couch for some quiet cuddle time. She has been enjoying both playtime and snuggles with the resident dog in her foster home and would likely benefit from having a friendly, confident canine companion in her adoptive home to help show her the ropes. Raya is crate trained and house trained, and she sleeps quietly in her crate throughout the night. She's also calm during nail trims. While she can still be a little nervous about being picked up or held, she is making steady progress and becoming more comfortable every day. She is very food motivated and eats her meals with gusto! Raya's most adorable features: her little ears! Both ears flop over to the left, giving her a unique and adorable pinwheel look. Raya is a sweet, gentle, happy little dog who is blossoming more each day. With a little patience, love, and encouragement, she's sure to become a loyal and loving companion for a very lucky family.
