Ready to add a little ninja-level energy, brains, and cuteness to your life? Meet Rafael—your new favorite four-legged sidekick. I’m 1 year and 9 months old, 30 pounds of lean, lovable action, and yes—full grown, even though I’ve still got that irresistible puppy look. I’m housebroken, crate trained, and working hard on my leash skills (I’m a fast learner, I just get excited about everything!). I’ve got double dew claws too—ninja extras, obviously. I thrive in a home that gets me. I need exercise like a turtle needs pizza. A fenced yard, daily adventures, and someone who can keep up with my high-energy brain and body is a must. I’m wicked smart and super trainable—when I’m exercised and focused, I’m calm, cuddly, and can even hold a solid sit-stare like a true sensei-in-training. But if I don’t get enough activity? My inner chaos gremlin comes out: I bark, I bounce, I zoom. No cats for me (they’re not part of my ninja squad), but I love having other dog friends to run and play with—it really helps keep my mind and body balanced. New stuff can make me anxious at first, so I might bark or jump when I’m unsure—but give me a little time, be patient, and you’ll see me light up with curiosity and joy. Watching me learn and explore is like watching a kid discover the world for the first time—pure magic. I’m adorable, a little wild, and never boring. If you’re looking for a sidekick who’s sweet, spunky, and totally unforgettable, I’m your guy. ? Let’s go on some epic adventures together. My adoption fee is $150 and includes my spay/neuter, vaccinations, wellness exam, heartworm test, and microchip!
