🌟 Let’s take a moment to shine a spotlight on the amazing Raleigh! This handsome, athletic boy is around 2 years old and weighs in at about 35 pounds of pure joy and energy! With his short tan and white coat, along with those bright, expressive eyes, he’s just begging for attention and love. You can't miss that alert gaze and relaxed posture—he’s the confident and curious type, always taking the world in with a sense of wonder. And oh, those slightly folded ears! They give him a thoughtful, endearing look that fits perfectly with his eager-to-please personality. Raleigh’s journey started at animal control, but my goodness, does he have so much love to give!

Beyond his playfulness, he’s remarkably friendly and outgoing, with the heart of a true friend. He’s dog-friendly, cat-friendly, and kid-friendly!
