Rafiki’s applications are now closed whilst the team assess those already received.

Rafiki could live with children 14+, he could potentially live with another dog but no cats or small animals.

Rafiki is a fun, energetic and cheeky young lad! He is full of love and full of energy.

Rafiki is still very young and this can present in his behaviours. He can sometimes get a little overwhelmed and overly excited and these moments can be quite challenging to manage.

Rafiki will need an experienced home who are mindful and focused on training and behaviours to help rebuild the foundations he has missed out on by not having the best start to his life. Rafiki is making brilliant progress with his behaviours, and just needs a family who will ensure this is continued helping him become the best boy he can be!

He has spent some time in a foster home who have shared the following:

Overall, Rafiki is still very much a puppy. He is affectionate, playful, curious and eager to learn. He needs attention, interaction and continued training, but he is also capable of settling very nicely in his bed and will happily relax for long periods.

He has made a lot of progress during his time with us, and we hope his future family will continue the training and boundaries he has started to learn. He is a lovely, affectionate young dog with lots of enthusiasm for life, and we think he will thrive with people who understand his size, energy, breed and puppy nature and are willing to continue helping him develop
