UPDATE: Adopted!

Hi, I'm Ray, and I'm adoptable! I like other dogs, I love people, and I have one very important personality trait: I have opinions.

Food isn't being served fast enough? I'll file a complaint. Waiting for my walk? Complaint. Someone walks by without stopping to tell me how handsome I am? Believe it or not, complaint.

Despite my busy schedule as a neighborhood critic, I'm an incredibly friendly guy who loves making friends and getting attention. If you're looking for a quiet dog who never has anything to say, that's not me. If you're looking for a hilarious best friend with plenty of personality, I'm your guy.

I'm available for meet and greets Monday-Friday 10am-3pm, and Saturdays by appointment.

Love, Ray 🐾
