About Raffa
**NOT CAT TOLERANT***
Meet Raffa! - Race Name: Eddie Eagle
Raffa is 5.9 yrs. old and a big boy at approximately 40kg. Although he’s a big greyhound he is a big softie at heart who loves attention and cuddles. He just wants to be with you 24/7.
Raffa would love a home where his owners are home most of the time ( someone retired or works from home) or a part-time worker with another dog for company That could use doggie daycare to keep him entertained.
Raffa has been fostered for a while now. There have been no younger kids at Raffa’s household during his stay, but he has had many interactions with visiting kids ranging from 6 months and up. He is a very inquisitive boy who sometimes forgets personal space but has shown to be gentle around kids.
Raffa loves meeting new people and making new friends. He is a very social butterfly and human orientated dog. He does get excited when new people come into the house but a gentle pat and he will calm down.
Raffa is good with other dogs and enjoys making new “doggy” friends but he can get excited when first meeting and forget, not all dogs want to be his friend. Raffa has shown no signs of aggression and loves having other dogs around, he would be best as an only dog or with a medium to a large calm dog.
Raffa's favourite thing to do is to go for his daily 30 min walks and sniff everything. He also loves to sleep all day. He loves going for car rides or doing anything that helps him spend time with humans such as going to cafes, parks, or Bunnings.
Raffa has not chewed anything inside as he prefers to nap or play with his soft toys but has chewed a bag of potting mix and some rubber cord outside when left for 7+ hours. Although, he has gotten better and hasn't chewed anything for a while.
Raffa is toilet trained and will sit at the back door and whine if he needs the toilet.
Raffa is looking for a loving home where there is someone around to keep him company. but needs someone who will enforce his manners/rules.
He would best suit
- retirees/ working from home
- someone that works small part-time hours.
- A working family who can commit to having him in doggie day-care or something similar would also suit.
- or a family with another calm dog
Raffa would also love a yard big enough for his daily zoomies. A home that would let him on the couch sometimes and the bed in the morning or night-time for a cuddle. However, he loves having his dog bed and will sleep there all night once tucked in.
Raffa the big loving 40kg greyhound looking for someone to take him into their loving home. He is a gentle giant that just wants affection 24/7 and to be someone’s shadow. He is the friendliest greyhound who always has a smile on his face. He always aims to please especially when he gets lots of attention.
