Meet Raya!
A spirited three-and-a-half-year-old Standard Poodle currently living in Arlington, TX, whose essence is an elegant swirl of playful energy and deep devotion wrapped in a curly black coat accented with a charming white patch on her chest. With her 55 pounds of athletic grace and an affectionate nature that radiates warmth, Raya is the kind of companion who will greet you with a happy dance every single day!
Highly intelligent and professionally trained, Raya knows her commands; sit, stay, heel, no, down, come, and off like the back of her paw. Her trainer even noted she is among the smartest dogs he’s ever worked with, and it shows in her attentiveness and eagerness to please. She thrives on activity, whether it’s exploring the dog park, taking brisk neighborhood walks, or dashing around the yard with her favorite giant pacifier toy or a solid chew in tow.
While Raya is friendly toward other dogs in neutral settings, she strongly prefers to be the sole furry star in her household. She has shown strong jealousy toward her senior canine housemate and one altercation did result in bite injuries. For this reason, Raya must be the only pet in her new home. Her love runs deep, and she wants every ounce of her guardian’s attention. She would flourish in a pet-free home where she can be the center of affection, joy, and playful adventures.
Raya’s zest for life pairs best with an active family, teens or adults, who can match her energy and embrace her love for running, playing, and joining in outdoor fun. Due to her size and exuberance, she’s not suited for a home with young children, as her joyful enthusiasm might topple them during an excited greeting. She is house-trained, crate-trained, spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and in excellent health!
This confident girl has no trouble being left alone for short periods and will happily relax until you return. But when you do be ready, Raya will shower you with affection, hugs, and the kind of loyalty that turns every day into something brighter! She needs a guardian who will provide continued structure, love, and opportunities for mental and physical engagement.
