Thank you everyone for your kind words...here is an update on Raven's first 24 hours..
Raven is so hand shy that when you try to pet her she falls to the floor...poor baby. So my hubby and I sit on the kitchen floor and both take turns calling her name, when she comes we shower her with rubs and hugs. She is really afraid of my husbad so I am positive her abuser was a male, although I think she was abused by the woman too.
Raven adores the kids and lets them pet her and jumps on their laps for cuddles.
She isnt housebroken so we are crate training her and putting her on a leash when she comes out of her crate and straight up the stairs to the back door and out to pee. I bet she has hardly ever been outdoors!!
She is soft as a teddy bear and GORGEOUS!! When I rehome her I will have a fee for her for sure as someone who is willing to pay for her will be more likely to give her a good home, but for sure for sure I will screen the new family to the best of my ability..home check etc..
Anyhow thats our update...hugs everyone!!
