Raffaele's Story

Meet Raffaele <br/><br/>Raffaele's story began with heartbreak after he was found abandoned in a hotel room when his family checked out and left him behind. Despite that, this handsome 4-year-old boy continues to greet the world with enthusiasm, curiosity, and a whole lot of personality.<br/><br/>At around 55 pounds, Raffaele is an active, social dog who loves being near people and exploring his surroundings. In new environments, he can become easily overstimulated and anxious, especially with unfamiliar handling, but it's clear underneath it all is a dog who genuinely wants connection and attention.<br/><br/>Raf is playful, excitable, and eager to interact, sometimes getting a little too enthusiastic when meeting new people. He would benefit from an adopter who understands energetic dogs and can help him continue learning appropriate boundaries while giving him time to settle in and decompress outside the shelter environment.<br/><br/>He's treat motivated, smart, and already knows some basic commands, making him a great candidate for continued training and bonding. Raffaele is looking for someone willing to see past the stress of shelter life and give him the stability and patience he deserves.<br/><br/>After being left behind once, we'd love to see Raf finally find a home that's forever.
