Raphael's Story

Raphael may share a name with the toughest turtle of the bunch, but this little guy is more sweet ninja than street fighter. Raphael is curious, confident, and always ready to waddle over to see what's happening around him.<br/><br/>Raphael is still a tiny ninja in training, but he's already showing signs of being playful, affectionate, and ready to explore the world.<br/>Raphael will be ready for adoption April 5th when he turns 8 weeks old. If you're looking for a loyal sidekick for all of life's adventures, Raphael might just be your guy.<br/><br/>Raphael's adoption fee is $425 plus MN tax which covers his neuter, vaccinations appropriate at the time of adoption, microchip and any additional medical care he may have needed while in the rescue's care.<br/>We are a foster based rescue, we do not house dogs at a facility. Age and breed are NLR's best guess as we often don't know who or what mom and dad are. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.northernlakesrescue.org
