The 12 dogs of christmas: meet raven, in rescue for a year and a half!

It’s the holidays! The time of year for families to gather together to celebrate traditions, share memories, and make new ones. This year, as you surround yourself with family and friends, both two-legged and four-legged alike, remember there are millions of dogs in shelters, patiently waiting for a family of their own.

For some, this won’t be their first, second, or even their third Christmas behind bars.

It’s our Christmas wish that every dog in rescue would find a home for the holidays, so we’ve selected 12 special dogs from around the country that have been overlooked time and time again. Some are senior dogs, some have special needs, and some are passed over for reasons we simply can’t understand – but, they all deserve to spend the holidays with a family of their own.

We’re calling this the 12 Dogs of Christmas. The Dogington Post along with our friends at Wellness have joined forces to introduce you to 12 needy dogs in hopes that they’ll finally get noticed…and maybe get a home for the holidays!

Meet Raven!

Raven is an 8-year old Rottweiler who was rescued from a puppy mill by National Mill Dog Rescue in Colorado Springs, Colorado – 1 and a half years ago!

Raven is a mellow, lap loving female Rottweiler who walks well on a leash and obeys basic commands. Raven loves toys, quiet time, snuggling, walks, and going outside, so a securely fenced yard would be best. She can be leery of people she doesn’t know, but once the ice has been broken, watch out!

Above all, Raven loves her people, and the attention they give her. Raven is a volunteer favorite at National Mill Dog Rescue.  This sweet, playful social butterfly wants nothing more than to please the ones she loves, and they just love her right back.

Raven will soon face her second Christmas without a family.

Visit National Mill Dog Rescue’s website at milldogrescue.org or visit them on Facebook for information about the adoption process.

Raven is located in Peyton, Colorado.  If she is adopted out of state, NMDR will require that her adopter comes to Colorado for a meet and greet.  Please fill out an adoption application at National Mill Dog Rescue. Her adoption fee is $150, and she is spayed and current on vaccinations.

The great folks at Wellness have a mission to help you provide your pet a healthy, happy, long life through the power of natural nutrition. With that goal in mind, they’re making a generous donation of premium pet food to each rescue that’s cared for these amazing dogs for so long. And, if you adopt one of our “12 Dogs of Christmas,” they’ll send you 3 months worth of food for your newest furry family member, too!
