About Princess Raya
Meet Princess Raya, a young (1-2 years) Hound & Boxer Mix who’s as charming as her name suggests—but don’t worry, she’s no diva! This medium-sized beauty, with her vibrant red/chestnut/orange and white/cream coat, is a curious, playful pup who loves to snuggle and explore. Known as a “gold star pooper” by her foster mama, Princess Raya is house-trained and excels at outdoor piddles and poops. Her inquisitive nature and love for adventure make her the perfect companion for a family ready to share in her curiosity and cuddles.

Affectionate & Snuggly: She’s a pro at cozying up for nap time or snuggle sessions.
Well-Mannered: House-trained and great in the car, she’s ready for adventures big and small.

Princess Raya’s Story
Princess Raya, a young Hound & Boxer Mix estimated to be 1-2 years old, is a bundle of joy with a heart full of curiosity and love. Rescued by Lending Paws A Hand in Sanford, NC, she’s thriving in her foster home, where she spends her days playing with her foster siblings, napping, and going on car rides with her foster mama. Her playful antics, like wondering why squirrels can climb trees or why toads lack fur, keep everyone entertained. With her striking red and white coat, she’s ready to blend into the fall leaves while bringing her vibrant personality to every moment.
Princess Raya is a social butterfly who gets along wonderfully with other dogs and loves hanging out with her foster family. She’s still growing, so she naps a lot, but she’s always up for an adventure or a snuggle session. Her excellent house manners and love for exploration make her a dream companion. After charming her foster home, Princess Raya is ready for a forever family to share her curious, cuddly spirit and make every day an adventure.
Ideal Home
Princess Raya would thrive in an active, loving home with owners who enjoy her playful and curious nature. A securely fenced yard is ideal for her to explore and play safely, especially among the fall leaves she loves. She’s great with adults and gets along with other dogs, making her a great fit for a multi-dog household, though her compatibility with cats or young children hasn’t been tested, so careful introductions are recommended. Owners who can provide daily walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles will find Princess Raya to be a loyal, joyful companion. A suburban or rural setting with space to roam and relax will make this princess’s life truly fabulous.
