About

Meet Rafiki

Rafiki is a nice little guy with a big personality. When he originally came into the shelter, he was scared and would try to bite strangers that tried to pick him up. He never actually BROKE ANY SKIN. He decided the shelter life was not his vibe and he is now in a foster home and is feeling much better! In his foster home, he has a completely different personality and is calm, friendly, and is not showing any of the same behavior he was exhibiting while in the shelter. He would probably do best in a home without small children. He is potty trained during the day and occasionally uses pee pads at night. If you are looking for a pint sized security guard, he's your man. Rafiki is currently in a high kill shelter in Georgia and needs an adopter, foster, and/or sponsor to catch a ride to Wisconsin on 10/26/24 to be considered safe. Please apply to Foster or Adopt on our website www.muttlife.org.
