Meet Raphael.  This stunning white beauty with a hint of brown on his ears weighs 37 pounds and is approximately 22 weeks old.  He will be a large dog when fully grown.

Raphael came into rescue after living in an outdoor kennel but has adjusted to living indoors with ease.  He does great in a crate while his foster mom is away and has had no accidents in the crate.  He does very well sleeping in a crate at night and is quiet all night long.

He loves playing with the big foster dog in the home and would benefit from having another dog in his new home to play with.  He enjoys chewing on toys & bones.

He is working on potty training and will need continued training in his future home.

He knows the commands "sit" "no" and "come".  He walks very well on a leash.  He would probably make a great hiking or running buddy.

Raphael is a very affectionate puppy and loves to be wherever his humans are.  If you are looking for a cuddle buddy, he’s your puppy.
