Despite that this car supports the Bulldogs and one of the high school's color is purple - this is not an Ada car. The Icon found it on a trip to Iowa. It's on a 2004 Mustang.
This is Raven. Raven is 4 months old. She is described as very playful and loving, with high energy. Could you provide a loving forever home for Raven?
