Rafael

Ready to add a little ninja-level energy, brains, and cuteness to your life? Meet Rafael—your new favorite four-legged sidekick. I’m 2-years-old and 35 pounds of lean, lovable action, and yes—full grown, even though I’ve still got that irresistible puppy look. I’m house and crate trained, and working hard on my leash skills (I’m a fast learner, I just get excited about everything!).

Ideal Home

I'll thrive in a home that GETS me. I need exercise like a turtle needs pizza. A fenced yard, daily adventures, and someone who can keep up with my high-energy brain and body is a must. No cats for me.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions mentioned.

Training & Support

I’m wicked smart and super trainable—when I’m exercised and focused, I’m calm, cuddly, and can even hold a solid sit-stare like a true sensei-in-training. But if I don’t get enough activity? My inner chaos gremlin comes out: I bark, I bounce, I zoom. New stuff can make me anxious at first, so I might bark or jump when I’m unsure—but give me a little time, be patient, and you’ll see me light up with curiosity and joy.
