Story
We adopted Raven about 9 months ago. She was very scared but has been doing amazing. She loves to play and run and loves attention. We are moving and can’t take her into our apartment. She is great with our kids (16, 8, 6). We had a kitten and she was great with the cat. Neighbors have dogs and she wants to play with them but they are kinda mean. I want her to go to a good home where she will be loved and taken care of. She will get the attention she needs and wants. Have room to play.
