In the shelter’s words

Meet Raj! Raj is a sweet, curious cattle dog puppy who loves being your shadow. According to Raj's foster, he’s happiest when he’s right by your side, whether you’re going for a walk, relaxing at home, or just going about your day. He’s a great little walker who sits patiently for his harness and enjoys exploring everything around him. He’s playful, smart, and learning his manners quickly. He loves praise, belly rubs, toys, and, of course, the occasional cheese tax! Raj has a wonderfully goofy and curious personality. He loves looking out windows, investigating places he probably shouldn’t be, and bringing his favorite toy back for another round of play. He’s affectionate but also appreciates having his own space when he needs it. He’s been friendly and polite with new people and has done well around other dogs. He can be a little startled by sudden noises and may get distracted by exciting things like squirrels, so he’ll benefit from a family who can continue helping him learn and grow. At the end of the day, Raj is just a sweet puppy who wants to be loved, included, and close to his person. He’s sure to keep you smiling with his silly antics, gentle kisses, and big puppy personality. Raj is currently in a foster home, so please contact Hayward Animal Services at animal.services@hayward-ca.gov or 510.293.7200 to schedule an appointment to meet him.
