About Rainey

Rainey and her 2 sisters were born on March 3, 2019, at the Tri County Humane Society. Sort of a sad way to start her life, but at 6 weeks old, Rainey was quickly adopted by a wonderful and loving family who deeply loved and cared for her until...... she had to come back to rescue due to a change in living circumstances. Rainey is a BIG but very easy going, gentle, sociable, very smart, loving girl! She is quiet, but will bark when someone comes to the door as she is our security system which is easily turned off with the NO! word. Since Rainey has been with us, we found that she just LOVES to be with men, women, and older children. Rainey has always been a house dog, so if we are gone, she has free access to our entire home (housetrained). She then feels the living room couch and our bed is hers to sleep on. At night she wants to be near us, so she sleeps on the floor next to our bed. Rainey considers herself a family member and NOT a dog. Did I tell you that this is a smart girl? Rainey is just fine with (but mostly ignores) all our gentle and easy-going Poodles. in the foster home. She has been an only dog with cats around her all her life. But while on her daily walks and at various events, she is just fine meeting other older, gentle, and easy-going dogs. Rainey greatly enjoys playing fetch with her Kong toy, going to softball games, meeting people at the Anoka Car Show, attending our neighborhood National Night Out, going to the beach and riding in a car. She just loves her belly rubs, having her coat brushed, hugs, her food and treats! She will follow you around the house, will come when called, sit upon command and listen to whatever you have to tell her. When Rainey first came to us, she was obesely overweight at 120 pounds. With instructions from our Vet, we have reduced her quality food intake and increased her daily walks which she just LOVES to do. Just grab her leash (or say the w-a-l-k word) and shes ready to go. She now weights a healthy 100 pounds which my Vet feels is all muscle. Rainey was surrendered to us by a family who we know. Sadly, their special needs child was physically abusing and attacking Rainey even though Rainey did nothing wrong. Finally, it was tearfully decided that for Raineys safety, she needed to go to a new home. Rainey has been checked by our Vet and found healthy with no physical or emotional problems. She is spayed, has been Heartworm, Lymes and Ehrlichia tested negative, Home Again microchipped and registered. All her vaccinations and worming are up to date. If you are looking for a mellow, well behaved, big and strong girl with a gentle heart, she's your dog. She would do best with someone experienced with a big dog, and someone who can commit to further obedience to establish a bond with her and her new owner.
