Rafael's Story
PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL'S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING!<br/> <br/>Meet Rafael, a 2-month-old Terrier / American Pit Bull mix with a heart far bigger than his tiny size. Rafael is a sweet, affectionate puppy who absolutely adores people and thrives on being close to his humans. He's happiest when he's snuggling, giving kisses, or simply following you around to see what you're doing.<br/><br/>When he's not soaking up affection, Rafael is playful, curious, and full of puppy energy. He loves toys, enjoys exploring his surroundings, and is already showing how smart and eager to please he is. Rafael is still learning his basics, but he's food-motivated, attentive, and responds well to positive reinforcement. With consistency, patience, and love, he's going to excel in training and grow into a well-mannered companion.<br/><br/>Rafael does wonderfully with other animals and people of all ages. He gets along with big dogs, small dogs, older cats, younger kittens, and children of all ages. His adaptable, laid-back personality helps him fit in easily, making him a great match for first-time dog owners, active families, or households with existing pets.<br/><br/>His ideal home would include a fenced yard where he can play and explore, kids to grow up with, and ideally a dog sibling to help him continue building confidence and social skills. Most importantly, Rafael needs a family ready to give him guidance, structure, and plenty of affection as he grows.<br/><br/>A word from his foster:<br/>Rafael is one of those puppies who leaves a mark on your heart. He loves deeply, trusts fully, and just wants to be close to his people. Watching him learn, play, and curl up for comfort has been incredibly special. He's gentle, smart, and full of pure love. Saying goodbye will be hard, but the family who chooses Rafael will gain a loyal little soul who will love them wholeheartedly every single day.<br/><br/>Adoption FEE: $600 which includes his neuter, microchip, and vaccines.
