Raven Y2K - Australian Kelpie Dog for Adoption in Friendswood, Texas

Raven Y2K The Fluffiest Little Teddy Bear

Raven is the kind of puppy who looks like she was made to be cuddled. At just 2 months old, this fluffy little Australian Kelpie mix is basically a tiny living teddy bear -- with an all-black coat, an adorable face, and a personality that's every bit as lovable as her looks.

Raven is estimated to have been born on June 11, 2026 and is currently approximately 7.8 lbs. As with all rescue puppies, her breed and birthday are our best educated guesses.

This little girl is playful, affectionate, curious, and wonderfully socialized. Her foster has done an amazing job introducing her to the world, regularly taking her to puppy playgroups and even bringing her along to a couple of puppy Pilates classes! Raven loves playing with the dogs in her foster home and has already learned that life is pretty great when you have furry friends around.

She's also completely comfortable around cats. At night, you'll often find this fluffy little girl sleeping alongside her foster's Maine Coon cat. Apparently, Raven has already mastered the important puppy skill of finding the coziest possible sleeping buddy.

And then there's Raven herself. She's ridiculously cute. Like, ""stop what you're doing because this puppy is too adorable"" cute. She's soft and fluffy enough to make you want to bury your face in her fur, and her sweet, affectionate personality makes her even harder to resist.

For all her puppy playfulness, Raven also has a lovely ability to settle. After she's gotten her zoomies and playtime out, she's perfectly happy finding a cool spot to relax and recharge. She's that wonderful puppy combination of fun when it's time to play and cuddly when it's time to wind down.

Raven is getting a fantastic start to life and is surrounded by people, dogs, and cats who are helping her grow into a confident, well-socialized little companion. Now she just needs a forever family ready to continue the fun and watch this ridiculously fluffy baby grow.

If you've been looking for a puppy who looks like a teddy bear, loves everyone she meets, and comes with an entire lifetime of cuddles ahead of her, Raven Y2K is ready to steal your heart!

We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.

At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog's growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!

We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap -- ranging from $100-$1,000+ per dog.

Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
