Rescue Dog’s Name

Rayne

Where Did You Find Your Dog?

We found our Rayne online at the Cuyahoga County (Cleveland, OH) Kennel website in mid-October 2013. I went down to the kennel to meet her and then called my wife to tell her about Rayne (who had a different name in the Kennel). Rayne had been apparently found wandering on the West side of Cleveland. No one claimed her for almost four months until we found her.

Tell Us About the Moment When You Knew that You Two Were Meant for Each Other.

I met Rayne on a Friday and my wife met her on Saturday. She was gentle, very bright/intelligent. She was listed as an Australian Cattle Dog but is really mostly Australian Kelpie with two color eyes (perhaps some Husky thrown in for good measure). She was very affectioniate, ready to leave the kennel after an almost 4 month stay there. We made the decision to make her part of our family and a few days later she joined us at home.

How Has Your Hero Changed Your Life?

Rayne is an active part of the family. She loves going for walks, helping me exercise (I’m a stay at home heart patient). She also loves going for card rides to the dog park. She spends virtually every part of every day with us. She keeps us active, on our toes, and its a joy to have her as part of the family.
