About Raphael

Meet Raphael! Raphael is ready to turn the page and start his next big adventure with a family of his own. This medium-sized boy is happy, goofy, playful, and full of energy. He adores a good game of fetch, chasing after balls, and enjoying his variety of stuffies and squeaky toys. With his adorable floppy ears, he's truly a lovable companion. Raphael is quite the smart fellow; he already knows how to sit, takes treats nicely, and walks well on a leash. Friendly and easygoing, he's a perfect match for families wanting to include him in their daily adventures. He gets along well with kids of all ages and keeps his kennel clean, showcasing his good manners. This playful guy came to us as a stray after being found along Highway 151 near Anamosa. Unfortunately, no one stepped up to claim him, so we’re committed to helping him find a permanent family. Shelter life can be tough for Raphael, and he deserves much more than what a kennel can offer. He’d thrive with an active family that can provide plenty of playtime, exercise, and opportunities to explore the world around him. Could this goofy, floppy-eared fellow be your new adventure buddy? Come meet Raphael and help him begin his next chapter!
