Story
In January 2025, we adopted Rawley from the animal shelter. We fell in love at first sight - she is incredibly loving and affectionate! However, in March 2025, I was moved to a new role that requires travel. Now, she is spending more time in boarding than she is at home. We are looking for a good home for her where she will receive the attention she deserves. Rawley is 2 years old and she loves to give kisses! She is playful and loves belly rubs. She is fully house trained and knows several commands including sit, down, settle, stay, and come. She has a strong bark but only uses it when needed (when someone new comes into the home or when another dog barks at her). She loves chew toys, long walks, and although she takes her time getting used to new dogs, she loves to play with them in true puppy fashion.
