11/05/2015:  Please look at the new photo's we have of Raven.  She is a beautiful dog.

Raven was pulled from a high kill shelter along with her daughter Haven.  Judy saw the beauty in these two sweet dogs and knew she would get them a fantastic home.    We are working on socializing her with the other dogs right now, she is good with people.  We will be testing her with kids and will update her web page as we discover more about her and we can cat test if necessary. 

October 5, 2015 :  Raven was taken out on a Dog 4 A Day trip and we received a very thorough update and several pictures to share.   Here is her update!  

*** According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Labrador Retriever is a loving, affectionate, lovable, patient dog. Once known as the "St John's Dogs," the Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. Originally from Newfoundland, Canada the Labrador was trained to jump overboard into the icy waters to haul fisherman's nets to shore. Specimens were brought to England in the 1800's by English ships coming from Labrador, where the dog's fine retrieving instincts were honed and developed. One of the best family dogs and canine companions because of their gentle, loving disposition, the highly trainable Labrador also excels in drug detection, as a guide for the blind, and service dog for the disabled. The breed is also an outstanding obedience and field trial competitor. Highly intelligent, loyal, willing, and high-spirited. Lively and good-natured, they love to play, especially in water - for they love to swim. They have an excellent, reliable, temperament and are friendly, superb with children and equable with other dogs. They crave human attention and need to feel as though they are part of the family. Labs are easily trained. These dogs are watchdogs, not guard dogs, although some have been known to guard. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
