About Raphael

Raphael is about 3 months old and one of our charming Ninja Turtles at MCHS. Rescued from a construction site along with his siblings, he came to us scared and in rough shape. After a few medicated baths, he’s now on the mend and ready for a loving home. Raphael is a happy and playful puppy, full of typical puppy antics. His new family should be prepared for potty training and teaching him basic skills. He would benefit from having an adult dog around to help guide him. Raphael enjoys being around children, but potential adopters should keep in mind that, given his playful nature, he might be too mouthy for very small kids. Due to his past neglect, he may always have some itchy skin, so it's essential for his new family to work with a vet to keep him comfortable. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
