About Rafael

<p>Hi I'm Rafael.</p> <p>My mom Candy and I came from a hoarding and breeding situation where we didn't get to experience much of the world.</p> <p>When Desert Paws Sanctuary rescued us while helping the elderly woman we lived with, I was so scared. I didn't know how to walk on a leash, and even being outside felt unfamiliar to me.</p> <p>Everything was new.</p> <p>But thanks to my amazing fosters, I'm starting to understand what it feels like to be safe. Every day I come out of my shell a little more. I've learned that I love being around people, laying next to them, and soaking up all the affection I can get.</p> <p>I'm a good boy with a gentle heart. I was just never shown love before.</p> <p>Now all I want is a family to call my own.<span class="Apple-converted-space"></span></p> Please visit our website desertpawssanctuary.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.
