He can be timid with new people, yet once he feels safe, his playful, sweet personality shines. <br/><br/>Raffi is a ladies man (dog). He prefers women and is afraid of men and his response is barking. He will need someone with patience and training to help him with his anxiety. He will be a dog who likely will always be on the cautious side. He can be scared of some men but we have no way of knowing who...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/crate.

<br/><br/>How to Apply:
<br/><br/>Submit an application here: www.adogsnewlife.org/adopt

<br/><br/>We will review your application and may contact you for more info or a home check.

Approved adopters are matched with flight companions (flight angels) traveling from Puerto Vallarta. You will meet them at the airport to welcome your new pup home.<br/><br/>Summer Months: It can be challenging to secure Canadian flight angels during the Summer months, so dogs may need to fly into the US and be picked up at Peace Arch Park at the border if a Canadian flight angel is unavailable.<br/><br/>We have successfully completed many adoptions over the summer with volunteers helping to bring dogs to their adopters at the border. This remains a great option to keep adoptions moving forward.<br/><br/>Please follow us on Instagram & Facebook and share our mission. The shelter is full every adoption saves lives.
