RAFI’s STORY (was PUMPER) – SUCCESSFULLY ADOPTED
Rafi is the fourth Border Collie x Kelpie/Dachshund pup we’ve successfully re-homed, from the litter of six who lost their dog-mum to a brown-snake bite 20-months ago.
Although one of the larger pups, Rafi has always been the baby of the litter – shy, timid, somewhat anti-social, but an absolute lover once he knows and trusts you.
Totally disinterested in, and slinking away from all the lovely folk who met his brothers and sisters (Evelyn, Walter & Betty), Rafi had a complete change of heart when I introduced him to Genna – so much so, that he tried to dig his way under the gate to greet her!
For all his issues – very timid around other dogs / frightened of children – Rafi has brought so much love into Genna’s life, and she in turn has the love, devotion and dedication to help Rafi ease slowly but surely into his new life – which is very rich and full.
He gets to hang out at pet-friendly work – Stone & Wood – where he’s a huge hit, he’s a regular at Heidi’s Hounds day-care, he loves his time with grandma (Genna’s mum), plus he gets to hang out with Angeji the Basenji and I at the beach – all activities designed for soothing and socialising.
Well done Rafi – you made an excellent choice! 💖💖🐚
