Story
    RAVEN: Are you looking for a loyal companion to join you for daily walks and watch your favorite TV shows with you? Raven is your girl! She’s looking for her perfect match. Here’s more about Raven:    Doodle/Poodle mix; 2-3 years old; Female, fully vetted, spayed and microchipped  Personality traits:  Although a little shy shy and timid, she is calm, loyal and affectionate. Once she learns to trust you, she’ll never leave your side. She does a happy dance when it’s time for food and gets so excited to greet you when you get home.  Likes:  Long walks, visiting local coffee shops, relaxing on the porch, calmness and routine. Dislikes:  Scary noises, sudden movements, and overwhelming environments  Quirks:  She is reserved and keeps to herself around new people in new places. She likes to observe what is going on around her and appreciates a calm environment with a good routine. She is so sweet and gentle. She can take a while to warm up and get comfortable in her new environment, so she deserves a human who will be patient and gentle with her as she learns to trust them. Raven is a delight on the leash and makes for the best walking buddy.  She gets more confident every day, loves shewing her bones and is starting to become more playful. She will do best in a home without children and with someone who enjoys walks. Raven would be fine an only dog or with another dog who is mature, calm and friendly.  Although she gets along well with other dogs, she would like her space as she gets acclimated in a new home.
