Raisin - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Lafayette, Colorado

Calm, quiet, soft and fluffy the sweetest little Raisin ever. Tiny 7 pound Raisin is bold enough to stand up to dogs 4 times her size, but smart enough to stay out of their faces. This sweet sensitive girl would rather sit and watch the pack tumble around on top of each other than jump into the fray. Not timid, just watchful. This does not mean she doesn't play, it is just that she prefers a gentle one on one with her friends vs a crazy melee with the litter mates. Raisin completely ignores the foster cat siblings.

Raisin is through her health quarantine, has had 2 vaccinations (she needs 2 more), is microchipped and just spayed. She will be recovered and available to go to her forever home Friday June 12. Best GUESS, Raisin has pretty small paws and we are guessing she may be arund 40 pounds full grown, typical of an Aussie Shepherd. Raisi is doing amazing on potty training for her age. Potty training this young means going outside every 2 hours, but she has made it all the way through the night for the last two nights! Raisin is very quiet at night in her crate beside the fosters' bed. That proximity is important to reassure her.

Raisin is fostered in Arvada. Apply with no obligation to adopt to come meet her. One application is good for a year with Rezdawg and you may consider to meet more than one dog or puppy.
