THIS 'gorgeous girl' who was rescued from Mauritius is looking for a forever home.

Two-year-old Raya is described as a "loving girl" who adores her food and toys and likes to take them with her on her walks.

Originally rescued from Mauritius, Raya, a crossbreed, is now in the care of Dogs Trust Newbury and is looking for a pet-free forever home with a private garden.

She will need minimal hours left alone while she is settling in and any time left on her own will need to be built up slowly.

Raya would benefit from a quieter household with minimal visitors. Children living within the household or visiting will need to be aged 16 or over.

She can be worried by strangers and needs to take it slow when she meets new people. Once she gets to know people and is comfortable around them, she has "a lot of love to give."

Raya isn't fond of other dogs and wants to be the only pet in her new home, as she enjoys her own space with her owners. Her adopters will need to continue her training around other dogs.

Natasha Tarrant, centre manager at Dogs Trust Newbury, said: "Raya is a gorgeous girl who was originally rescued from Mauritius.

"She likes to take it slow when meeting new people, but once you've built a bond with her she's very affectionate.

"If you live in a quiet, pet-free home without young children, Raya could be the perfect match for your family. Please get in touch to enquire."
