23-040 Frankie  was 5 months old when she was surrendered to  AGR  in June 2023. She has long hair and is a beautiful black Goldendoodle that looks like a black Golden Retriever. The owner had rescued her from bad living conditions in a barn – she was almost feral. She had come a long way in the 6 weeks after being rescued, but she was getting too big and energetic for her small senior-age savior to handle. She had to have all her vaccines updated and will be spayed when she is about a year old. An adoptive couple in Phoenix were chosen as the best family for this beautiful girl. They changed her name to  Raven , so appropriate as she has the color and glossiness of the bird. Crate-training was the first order of business at her new home, and she adapted to it well. The adopters collaborated on some comments: 

Raven  has been a wonderful addition to our home and is doing very well. She is full of puppy energy and will have frequent "zoomie" episodes where she runs full speed around all the bushes from one end of the yard to the other and back again. She loves to play fetch and especially enjoys diving full force into the pool to retrieve a toy that I throw for her and she will do that over and over as I try to get her to burn off some of that excess energy. She'll eventually get out with the toy and try to hide it from me to let me know she's the winner of that game but still has energy for one more zoomie before she's totally spent and settles down for a nap. She's a joy to have around and a great blessing for us both. I think all of us are very happy together.
