If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out our dog adoption questionnaire and e-mail it to her adoption coordinator, Lindsay, at lindsaymrowan@gmail.com PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ My name is Raleigh and I'm very anxious to meet you! I'm about four years old and I resemble a pug, so I'm pretty small and portable. I live with my amazing foster mom and her really cool cat. (I love cats, by the way, and dogs too!) My foster mom says I'm an incredibly sweet girl, gentle and full of personality. I'm also quiet. In fact, I haven't even barked yet! This is a really good thing because my foster mom takes me to work every day, where I sit or lay silently under her desk. I'm the type of girl that tries really hard to please my foster mom and make her happy. She is very impressed that I'm fully house trained and that I actually signal to her when I need to relieve myself. Apparently, this is a BIG plus! I'm starting to learn new tricks (I just mastered what she calls "sit") and am a super easy dog to train. I enjoy short walks so there's no need to take me on long treks; the quicker the walk, the better! As you can tell by my photos, I love belly rubs and naps on the couch. I'm making big strides in learning to trust people. I'm still a bit wary of small children, especially if they don't realize I respond really well to a slow, gentle greeting. I've spent time with older children, though, and I enjoyed being around them. As much as I love my foster mom, it's time I get a home of my own so I can spoil my family with all of the love and loyalty that's inside of me. As you can tell, I'm pretty darned near perfect!! Please fill out an application so we can meet soon and get to know each other. Adoption Coordinator: Lindsay Location: Foster Home The adoption fee for this dog is $400.
