Critter Details

 IN NEED OF LOCAL FOSTER OR ADOPTER / AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER TO ADOPT  Meet Raksha from Aruba! More pictures and video below or to come!  Raksha is approx. 2 1/2 years old (approx. DOB 12-17-23), female, 35 lbs., initial vetting done, spayed, and microchipped. Raksha is a mama; we LOVE our mama dogs! She was rescued from the bushes in Aruba with her newborns, who were only a day or two old when they came to the shelter. She's been a great mom, and now it's her turn! Raksha has a balanced low-medium energy, is good with other dogs, maybe cats, but fun to chase (all cat/dog relationships take time and are different), is a social butterfly that loves the outdoors, and did we mention she is a great model for the camera? She loves belly rubs and gets the zoomies! She is so lovable. Stay tuned for more information as Raksha is a new rescue! If you are interested in adopting Raksha, please fill out an Application at  www.Passion-4-Paws.org   (please make sure you have the Vermont site not CT) – thanks! Please note that fosters have 1st option for adoption. Check out her Facebook Profile and like us while we are there! Disclosure:   Breed labels are often incorrect: we rarely know the genetic lineage of the dogs we rescue.  Many shelters and rescues specify breeds based on appearance; however, research has shown that less than 2% of a dog’s DNA determines appearance!   Passion 4 Paws does not practice the use of labels pertaining to compatibility with others or dog breed.  Labels such as “dog friendly” and “child friendly” should be used with caution as they often over-simplify the personalities and behavior of dogs.
