Meet Rain, a two-year-old Boxer mix with a heart as gentle as her name suggests. Rain is a sensitive and shy soul who’s still learning to trust the world around her. She’ll thrive in a calm, adult-only home or with older teens who can respect her need for space. This endearing girl shows her feelings on her sleeve—or rather, on her face! When she’s feeling shy or overwhelmed, her muzzle and ears blush the sweetest shade of pink. Rain takes her time warming up to new people, so a gentle, patient approach works best with her. Once she feels safe, her affectionate side shines, and she responds happily to a little baby talk. She’s becoming more curious on her daily walks, taking in all the sights and smells at her own pace. Rain`s ideal canine companion would be a carefree male of similar size who can handle her forward, confident playstyle. She needs a friend who will keep things easygoing and let her take the lead when she needs to. If you`re ready to give Rain the time and gentle support she needs to blossom, she’ll reward you with her sweet, trusting companionship. Could Rain be the gentle soul you`ve been looking to welcome into your heart?
