Raina is a sweet, sensitive pup who may be a little shy at first, but once she warms up, her goofy, zoomie-loving side comes out in full force! She's the kind of dog who bonds deeply with her people and blossoms in a calm, loving environment. Give her a little time, and Raina will reward you with joyful sprints around the yard and the kind of loyalty only a shy dog can give. She would thrive in a peaceful and patient home where she can feel safe, loved, and free to open up at her own pace.
If you're looking for a special and sweet pup with a heart of gold, Raina is ready to steal your heart (and maybe your spot on the couch).
