Raphael Yorkshire Terrier Mix Fredericksburg, VA

Approximate Age: 6 yo
Approximate Weight: 8 lbs

Hi! I’m Raphael but my friends call me Rafa. I’m a sweet, sassy, energetic boy! I love toys, treats, and time with my humans. I like to follow my people around to make sure they’re ok, and to see if they’re eating anything I’d like to eat. I’m crate trained and I have great house manners. I walk well on a leash and ride well in a car. I don’t mind other dogs, but I’m still trying to figure out how to play with them. I can be a little jealous and use my cute, low-pitched bark to try to get my humans’ attention, but I correct well.

I love to snuggle and I love to play. I’m a pretty aggressive chewer for a little guy, so if you want the stuffed toys to keep their arms and legs, chew toys and bully sticks work well for me. If you’re looking for a fun, friendly little fur ball, come meet me and let’s see if we’re a match!

What breed am I? Mixed mutt! ODHS does not breed label (unless there’s official paperwork), as studies show it is nearly impossible to tell the exact breed of each dog based off of their appearance.
