A little about them
Raven is a smart, curious, affectionate Retriever mix with a big personality and plenty of energy. This 2.5-year-old, 47-pound girl is currently in foster care in Houston, Texas, and would love to find an active person or family ready to help her continue growing into her best self.
Ideal Home
Raven loves running, wrestling, tug-of-war, toys, and enthusiastic play with other dogs. She has enjoyed playing with dogs around 66–70 pounds and can pick up on their cues. On leash, she may become overstimulated, pulling or barking when she sees other dogs.
She can be fearful and bark when meeting new people, so she needs adopters who will give her time to build trust. A farm, property with land, or active home offering plenty of exercise and enrichment would be ideal. Consistency and patience will help Raven thrive.
Ongoing Health
No medical conditions or health testing information was provided.
Training & Support
Raven is smart, curious, and loves entertaining herself with toys. She is house-trained. She is still working on leash skills and can be destructive when left unsupervised, so she is not ready for free run of the house when alone.
She has learned that her crate is a safe space, though she may whine when first going in. Car rides are scary, and she does not yet voluntarily get into the car; she currently prefers riding on the floor rather than in a seat.
Application Details
- The adoption donation is $475 and includes transport.
- The process includes an initial application and screening, a phone interview, a video call with the foster home, a virtual home visit, and personal and veterinary reference checks.

Transportation
Transport is included in Raven’s adoption donation. Transports run every few weeks, and she will travel on the next available transport once approved.
