Story
â¤ï¸ MEET RALEIGH — YOUR NEXT GREAT ADVENTURE IS WAITING! â¤ï¸ Some dogs are born to curl up on the couch. Others are born to explore the world, chase new adventures, and make every day a little more exciting. Raleigh is definitely the second kind! â¤ï¸ This gorgeous boy is approximately 18 months old, weighs about 35 pounds, and is believed to be a Collie mix. But Raleigh's story almost had a very different ending. He found himself at the Hesperia Shelter, where he was placed on the dreaded RED LIST — putting his young life at risk. A beautiful, intelligent, healthy young dog with his whole life ahead of him, and suddenly, time was running out. Thankfully, Green Dog Foundation was able to step in and give Raleigh the second chance he deserved. And what an incredible little fellow he has turned out to be! Raleigh is still very much a puppy — complete with a puppy brain, an abundance of energy, and an enormous enthusiasm for life! But don't let that puppy brain fool you! Underneath all that youthful excitement is one very smart dog. Raleigh catches on remarkably quickly, is eager to learn, and genuinely wants to please his people. With some consistency, guidance, and positive training, we believe this boy has the potential to become an extraordinary companion. Raleigh is the kind of dog who would absolutely LOVE an active family. ï¸ Camping adventures? Count him in! Hiking through the mountains? He's ready! âï¸ Running, exploring, and discovering new places? Sounds like the perfect day to Raleigh! And after all that activity, he'll have the satisfaction of knowing he spent the day doing what dogs love most — being right there beside his people. But here's what makes Raleigh especially wonderful... He doesn't have a mean bone in his body. â¤ï¸ Here at the ranch, Raleigh gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes and ages. He's friendly, social, and seems to genuinely enjoy everyone he meets. Well... almost everyone. You see, Raleigh is still trying to figure out a couple of our more unusual residents. Our 150-pound tortoise is apparently a rather suspicious creature in Raleigh's eyes. And those enormous animals next door? You know, the ones with four legs, long faces, and hooves? HORSES! Raleigh is still a little unsure what to make of them! For a dog who's so enthusiastic about adventure, it's pretty adorable to watch him encounter something that makes him stop and think twice. But that is part of Raleigh's charm. He's curious, impressionable, intelligent, and still learning about this big, wonderful world. He already walks nicely on a leash, rides well in the car, and has demonstrated a tremendous willingness to learn. What Raleigh needs now is a family who sees his energy as an opportunity rather than a challenge. Someone who will give him the exercise, training, companionship, and mental stimulation that a bright young dog like him deserves. Raleigh isn't looking for someone to simply give him a home. He's looking for someone to share a life full of adventures. â¤ï¸ RALEIGH AT A GLANCE Age: Approximately 18 months Weight: Approximately 35 pounds Breed: Believed to be a Collie mix Personality: Friendly, intelligent, energetic, affectionate, and eager to please Other dogs: Wonderful with dogs of all sizes and ages Leash manners: Walks well on a leash Car rides: Does great!
