Raleigh ( a 6 year-old American Bulldog/Pit mix) was surrendered to HSHV through no fault of her own, but due to unfortunate situations in her people’s lives. We lost our much-loved 16 year-old boxer mix Zoe over a year ago, and weren’t sure we could ever love a dog that much again. Finally we were ready to start looking, having no travel plans for the next several months. Raleigh popped up on the website just as we were finishing our last trip. Luckily, she was still there when we got back. It has been 6 weeks now, and Raleigh is right at home. She has great energy but is also a loving snuggler and blanket-stealer! Loves walking in the woods, chasing her frisbee and squeaky toys and playing with neighbor dogs, so she is slimming back down to her ideal weight. We can’t imagine life without her and love her so much! Can’t wait for our 3 adult sons to come home and meet their new sister!
