Rafael is a true snuggle bug with a huge love for belly rubs and human company. This young terrier mix, possibly with a hint of wire-haired, Cairn, or Norwich, is a compact 18-pounder—a great size for most homes. Rafael’s favorite spot is right beside his people, enjoying attention and affection. He’s previously lived with other dogs and could thrive with a canine friend, though a meet is required to ensure a good match. Friendly, affectionate, and ready for a fresh start, Rafael is eager to find his forever home where cuddles are plentiful. He’s currently in Monmouth County, NJ, and the rescue rarely places dogs out of state. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
