About Raul

Raul has a reputation as a champion splooter and earns top marks when it comes to cuddling. He has the swagger of a tough guy, but beneath the surface he's a gentle soul. Raul has a big appetite for treats, enjoys learning new commands, and makes games with his foster siblings into full-blown events—he's wild about toys, goofy wrestling matches, and a good game of keep away. "Rowdy Rau" is used to always having another dog around, so he'd do best in a home with another canine companion to boost his confidence. He greets new people with caution, showing shyness at first, though tasty treats help him open up. Raul is about 7 months old, a true "supermutt" with a mix of backgrounds (his sibling had a DNA test, so results are available if you're curious). He's fully crate trained, knows basic commands like sit, and his house training is coming along (with only the occasional slip-up). Raul is neutered and up to date on vaccinations, and he’s ready to find a cozy spot alongside a family who’ll let his personality shine. As a Taurus, Raul’s sun sign gives him a loyal, steady nature that shows in everything he does. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
