About Raya

Meet Raya!

Raya is a happy, resilient, and absolutely hilarious young girl who has left much of her past behind. She's playful, goofy, and athletic. When she gets the zoomies, she doesn't just run—she hops like a little deer, bouncing across the yard in a way that's guaranteed to make you laugh. She loves adventures, including walks, car rides, hiking, and exploring. The second someone heads toward the front door, she's convinced she's included and would likely walk for miles before willingly turning around. Raya forms deep bonds with her people and loves with her whole heart; she isn't a dog who wants to spend all day by herself.

Ideal Home

Raya would thrive in a home that wants their dog to be part of everyday life. A fenced-in yard is a must for this adventurous girl. She needs a home without cats, as they are just a little too exciting for her. Given her need for slow, positive introductions and her potential separation anxiety, she will likely be easiest to place as an only dog, especially for out-of-state adopters whose resident dogs aren't able to meet her beforehand. If you are gone 8-10 hours most days with little time together, Raya probably isn't the right match.

Ongoing Health

All of our dogs are cleared by a licensed veterinarian for transport and arrive to their adopters spayed/neutered with age-appropriate vaccines completed and are microchipped.

Training & Support

Raya does need slow, positive introductions with new people and other dogs. Once she realizes you're a friend, she's incredibly affectionate and loyal, but she likes a little time to figure things out first. Her foster uses a sturdy crate when needed to help with some separation anxiety and keep her out of puppy mischief.

Transporation

Raya is currently in South Mississippi. Local and out-of-town adopters are welcome. For out-of-town adopters, we offer virtual meet-and-greets and can arrange transport to many states in the Northeast. The adoption fee includes transport to the city on this listing. Our transports run every 2-3 weeks to that location. We cannot adopt to Rhode Island due to import restrictions.
