My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Raya!

A spirited three-year-old Border Collie/Labrador Retriever mix from Houston, TX, who radiates love and energy in her sleek black coat with charming white accents. At 48 pounds, Raya is a medium-sized bundle of joy with a heart as big as her personality!

Raya’s zest for life shines through her favorite activities: playing tug of war, fetching her beloved toys, and exploring the great outdoors on walks. She’s a quick learner, thanks to her intelligence and formal obedience training, and proudly shows off her ability to sit, stay, lie down, and masterfully "leave it." Her boundless energy is matched only by her affection, making her a loving companion who thrives on connection with her people and furry friends.

This lovely girl is a social butterfly! Raya adores children, gets along swimmingly with other dogs, and even finds feline friends to be delightful company. She’s a constant companion, eager to be part of the action and share in the joy of family life. Whether she’s cuddling up after a busy day of play or greeting new friends with her wagging tail, Raya brings warmth and laughter wherever she goes!

Raya’s past has shaped her into the incredible dog she is today. Having overcome health challenges like heartworm, she’s now thriving, healthy, and ready to leap into the next chapter of her life. She’s crate-trained, house-trained, and accustomed to routines, making her an easy fit for a home that can match her energy and provide room for her to stretch her legs. Thunderstorms might ruffle her calm demeanor, but with love and reassurance, she quickly settles back into her happy self.

Raya would flourish in a home with a backyard, active pet parents, and a lively household where children and other pets fill her days with play and affection. Are you ready to add a loyal, loving, and endlessly entertaining companion to your life? Raya is waiting to meet you and embark on a lifetime of adventures!

Contact adopt@joyfulpets.com to make Raya part of your family—she’s ready to bring her sunshine to your home! What exciting memories will you and Raya create together?

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our ultimate goal is to unite as many animals with loving pet parents as possible, so we strive to make it easy to adopt a dog or cat you have fallen in love with. All we ask is that you fill out an adoption application so that we have all the information we need to determine that you'll be able to provide a safe and compassionate home to one of our rescued pets. Once approved, all you need to do is sign our adoption agreement form and provide an adoption donation so that we can continue to save more animals every day and unite them with families just like yours.
