Rafa Romano Ringo is a six-year-old Chihuahua mix, weighing in at an impressive 17 pounds. Don't let his size fool you; Rafa has a big personality and a confident demeanor. He's a sturdy, capable little guy who prefers to march proudly beside you rather than be carried. Rafa is a hilarious and expressive companion who will quickly steal your heart with his determined strut and unwavering belief that he can conquer anything. He's been described as the perfect balance of independent and affectionate, happy to entertain himself but always ready for attention. The sound of his "tippy taps" as he prances through the house looking for love is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.
Ideal Home
Rafa would love a family who appreciates that small dogs can have very big personalities. He's looking for someone who sees him for exactly who he is: a confident, capable little sidekick who just happens to come in Chihuahua packaging, and not someone who wants to carry him around in a purse.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions were mentioned. Rafa has received all necessary vetting, including vaccinations, deworming, flea and heartworm prevention, and has been spayed/neutered.
Training & Support
Rafa is house trained and crate trained. Like many thoughtful little dogs, Rafa appreciates about 30 minutes to settle in and get to know someone new. Once you've earned his trust, you'll discover a wonderfully loyal companion. He is incredibly food motivated, adores treats, already knows "sit," listens well, and isn't shy about letting you know what he wants.
