Story
Raven was brought to St. Francis CARE in October 2021 as a stray. She had barely any hair, and incredibly itchy, irritated skin. While we immediately began treating her symptoms, her skin made very little real progress. Once it was clear no owner was coming for her, we set about the task of finding the underlying cause of her hair loss and itchy skin. After multiple tests with no answers, we sent samples out for in depth allergy testing. Raven waited patiently for her results to come in. When they did, we were all blown away. RAVEN IS ALLERGIC TO EVERYTHING!Now that we had the cause, it was time to find the cure. Turns out, with a special allergy food and a daily allergy pill, she slowly stopped itching and her beautiful hair started to grow back.Since Raven has been here with us she has quickly become a shelter favorite & we have learned a lot about her. Raven does not like to share her time with other animals. She doesn't do well with the other dogs here and she doesn't seem to like cats either. One may say, it's a blessing in disguise as she's allergic to them anyway.Raven is a 10 year old baby. She loves human attention, especially belly rubs. Raven now spends most of her days in our front office just hanging out with our receptionists and greeting the public. Raven knows several tricks and will let you know when she has to go out to potty. After everything Raven has been through, she is now ready to find her furever home. Where she will be loved and spoiled.If you would open your heart & home to the sweetest ol' girl ever, please, apply at www.stfrancis-care.org/adopt Once approved, we will call to set up a time for you to come meet her.Please visit: Https://www.stfrancis-care.org/adopt for adoption information including the adoption application
