Meet Raffi — a gentle, handsome boy looking for a patient, loving home. Raffi came to us malnourished and sick, but this beautiful boy is thriving now! He can be timid with new people, yet once he feels safe, his playful, sweet personality shines through. Raffi is a dog's dog and loves going for walks. He prefers women and is afraid of men, responding with barking. He will need someone with patience and training to help him with his anxiety. Raffi will likely always be on the cautious side and may be scared of some men, but we have no way of knowing which men. He is very loving and simply needs someone who will commit to him for life. Because of his fear of men, his adoption fee is only the airline charge for his flight and crate. Raffi is likely a McNab Shepherd or shorthaired Border Collie mix and would do best in a cooler climate, as his dark coat gets hot in Mexico. Raffi is a wonderful dog who just needs the right person — someone gentle, understanding, and ready to help him feel secure. If you believe in giving shy dogs a chance to blossom, Raffi is waiting for you.
