My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**Meet Raquel!** 🌟

Raquel is a wonderful and gentle girl who will steal your heart with her sweet nature and loving personality! She’s especially great with children, always calm and patient around them, making her an ideal family companion. Raquel enjoys training sessions and is very treat motivated, so you can look forward to some fun and rewarding learning moments with her. She already knows how to sit and is eager to master even more skills!

When it comes to outings, Raquel is a star—she’s great in public, rides well in the car, and enjoys going on car rides as part of her adventures. She’s house and crate trained, making her a well-mannered and easy-going companion at home. While she used to walk well on a leash, she has started to pull a bit in the shelter environment, though with a little time and consistency, we’re confident she’ll be back to her well-behaved self on walks!

Raquel can occasionally jump up, especially when she's excited to see you, but she’s quick to settle down once she knows she’s getting attention. She does best with dogs smaller than her, as she can be a bit overwhelming with larger dogs, especially during initial greetings. She also needs a home without cats, as she’s not a fan of them. Once she’s settled in, she’ll be your loyal, loving friend.

If you're looking for a gentle, well-trained pup who loves to learn, enjoys car rides, and thrives in a family environment, Raquel might just be your perfect match! Come meet this sweet girl today and see how she can brighten your life!
