Hi, my name is Raven! I’ve survived a lot in my first 10 months. First I was lost in a hot, dry place but a helpful man found me and sent me to stay at a house where lots of other animals lived with a lady. I got real sick and had to go to the hospital for three days. They said I nearly died because of something called Parvo. But hey, I’m a survivor and I made it. The nice doggy lady fixed me all up. She just happened to be the president of the Humane Society of the Upper Valley and the man is her uncle. Talk about good luck! Anyway she gave me this great name and it’s just perfect. They tell me ravens have appeared in many myths and stories in many cultures throughout history, depicted as a trickster, hero, creator, as well as some other things, but always showing intense curiosity and intelligence. I am a smart, playful, energetic problem solver. Just give me a ball and I’ll drop it at your feet more times than you will want to throw it for me. Turns out I got adopted through HSUV to a new family. My new Mom is crazy about dogs, especially me. We go to class every week so my manners are better. My teacher says I’m very smart. I think I’m the star of my class, anyway I try real hard. I have lots of energy and love people. Dressing up to have my picture taken is fun. I love to horse around with my two doggy sisters. People give an opinion about what kind of All American dog I might be. The best one was “black lab mixed with Flying Nun”. I guess my ears could help me lift off in the wind.
I’m pretty sure I could help convince lots of people to help build the new shelter. Too bad there are so many animals without a forever home. I’m a lucky, happy girl and where I am, something special is bound to happen.
