My name is RAYNE!

if interested please contact foster at: jennakirwan@gmail.com

I met Rayne in early June when she first came to the shelter. She was a confiscate/abandonment case and was covered in bite wound scabs. Despite her past, she was so loving and let me bathe her, giving me little licks as I did. When I began walking her, she happily sniffed along the trail, so happy to be out and learning. She completely ignored the shelter cat, which is such a great dog quality if you can find it! Because she is small and quiet she would probably do fine in an apartment with regular outings and exercise, but she`d be happy in any setting. Her new owner would have to give her time to rest and recover from the stress of being in the noisy shelter for over two months, but they would be rewarded with a loving, intelligent, beautiful and fun-loving companion!
Rayne is:
- sweet, smart, affectionate and volunteer favorite
- seems house-trained
- seems dog and cat indifferent but needs time to decompress before any intros
- beautiful beagle look and trail-sniffing skills to match
- all around perfect pup!
- crate trained, but has separation anxiety if left alone
- house broken if taken out at regular intervals
- a big cuddle bug, likes to lay on or near you, snores when sleeping
- loves to lay in the grass and Sun
- also loves to run and play chase with her foster dog brother
- good on leash with a prong collar, some pulling
- knows sit, no, leave it, waits for “OK” to eat,
- great with all people and kids, very friendly
- loves attention and to be pet
- needs very slow intros to other dogs
- cat introductions have not been successful, but can be unleashed with chickens
- very food motivated, loves fruit and veggies
- will “steal” food if left at her level, no counter surfing
- loves to chew bones
- likes car rides, stays calm, but needs harness and seatbelt
