Dogs for Adoption in Cocoa, FL: 20 Dogs Looking for a Home

She gets around on her own & does not need any help pottying. Mara doesn’t do stairs but has learned to use a dog ramp to get to her favorite spot on the couch.
They both had horrible dental disease, so DARE recently had dentals done; Emily lost all her teeth & Mara still has about 4 remaining. Therefore, they are on soft foods.
They love snuggling together when they are not snuggling on the coach with their person. These two gals are very low key & easy going girls who would do best in a quiet home.
Mara & Emily MUST stay together & are being fostered in Orlando but travel very well in a car. If you think these two would make a good addition to your family, please fill out an adoption application & put their names on it. ♥

His favorite treats so far are duck and freeze dried chicken hearts. Sullie adores sunbathing on the cooler days, and he loves the wind in his hair. He loves balls, and is conquering fetch and let go. He is content being under feet, being rubbed - alllllll dayyy long.

Sullie does have a vocal side where he becomes chatty with his foster family. He occasionally herds them, and gives little love nips. Sullie is dog friendly and is learning that his giant stature approach must go slow. Cats are his bees knees. As long as they accept him, we are confident on a solid respectful friendship.

Sullie is still learning to be crated, though not a big fan - he is adjusting and getting the hang of it. He loves having Peter Frampton serenade him while he hones his crating skills during the day. He rides in the car like a boss, is house trained and will sit at the door signaling the need to go out. He is amazing on leash, and listens to all cues on his walks.

This big fluff ball is the most chill guy mixed with the occasional playful spurt or nightly zoomies. A fenced yard would be appreciated by him to give chase to the squirrels that tempt him. He hasn't been around a kid under 10, and since he doesn't quite understand his size, a close eye would be a must.

Sullie is truly an awesome pal to have around. As a doodle, he will need regular brushing and grooming to keep his coat free of mats. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe that Sullie would be a great forever fit for your family, complete an app and tell us more about you.

Emmett has a gentle, sweet disposition that makes him a joy to have around. He gets along well with other dogs, including his slightly larger foster sibling, although he isn't particularly interested in roughhousing or playing. He has also done well around cats so far. He mostly ignores them and has shown no aggression, making him a promising candidate for a home with feline friends. He's a quiet little gentleman, too! Emmett isn't much of a barker, even when someone knocks at the door, and he rides beautifully in the car. He's so mellow and tolerant that he doesn't even mind having his nails trimmed.

At night, he sleeps comfortably in his own bed, and when left alone, he settles down quietly and behaves himself. He's also discovering the fun of toys and seems especially fond of soft, squeaky ones. Emmett is still learning a few things and will need a patient adopter willing to help him continue building good habits. He is doing great with his house training since he was neutered. He's also learning to walk on a leash, although his walks currently involve a fair amount of stopping and starting as he figures things out.

The good news? Emmett is a sweet, easygoing little guy who seems eager to enjoy the comforts of home. He has no known medical issues, and his loving nature makes him incredibly easy to adore. And when he's not snuggling in your lap, you might find him fast asleep on his back with all four legs sticking straight up in the air — an absolutely irresistible sight!

Emmett is looking for a loving home where he can be cherished for the affectionate, gentle little soul he is. If you're hoping for a loyal companion who will happily keep your lap warm, offer endless sweetness, and bring a little extra love into your everyday life, Emmett may be your perfect match. Those caramel eyes and that beautiful heart just might steal yours!

If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you are the perfect match for Emmett, complete an app and tell us more about you.

While Milo is a pretty laid-back guy, he also enjoys getting out and about with his people. He loves car rides, trips to the pet store, visits to the park, and, of course, a special pup cup along the way. He’s a smart little guy who learns quickly and is very receptive to training. He also walks beautifully on a leash, making him a wonderful little walking companion. Milo is mostly happy to take life at a relaxed pace, but he has a playful side, too.

One of the most special things about Milo is his bond with his best girl, Miss Mitt. These two absolutely adore each other. They love chasing each other around the house and outside, and Miss Mitt has a magical way of bringing out Milo’s playful side and getting those zoomies going. When they aren’t busy playing, you can usually find them cuddled up together. At night, they love snuggling in bed with their humans. Their bond is truly something special, and they must be adopted together.

Milo is incredibly sweet and gentle with children and doesn’t pay much attention to cats. He is also friendly with other dogs and has a very easygoing nature. He really is just a little lover who wants to make friends and soak up affection. Milo is crate trained and can stay in his crate when his humans leave the house. He will use pee pads during the night if he needs to go, and will go potty outside as long as he is taken out often.

Milo’s dream family is one that LOVES affection as much as he does. We’re talking lots of pets, cuddles, hugs, cozy naps, and plenty of quality time with his favorite people. He would thrive with a family who wants a loving little companion by their side and understands that the best part of having a dog is all the love you get to share. And, of course, his family must be ready to welcome his beloved Miss Mitt, too. Milo and Miss Mitt have so much love to give and are hoping to find a forever family who will cherish them both. They do have a little separation anxiety, so we want someone who is home more often than not, and apartment living would not be suitable for them because they can be a little barky for a short while when their people leave. They are not destructive though. We are not requiring a fenced yard, but they would love to have a secure area to run around and play in. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and think these two sweethearts might be the perfect fit for your family, complete an adoption application and tell us more about you. Milo promises to bring the puppy eyes, the cuddles, and a whole lot of love into your life!

Miss Mitt is full of energy and loves to play, especially with children! She is incredibly affectionate with kids, loves running around and playing catch with them, and is even happy to be held and give out plenty of kisses. When playtime is over, she’s just as happy to cuddle up with her human for some quality snuggle time. She truly has the best of both worlds: a playful little firecracker who also loves to be loved on.

Miss Mitt has a very special bond with her best friend, Milo, and these two are a package deal. She absolutely adores him and loves cuddling up to him, giving him kisses, and chasing him around the house and yard. She even has a way of bringing out Milo’s playful side and getting his zoomies going, which is just the cutest thing to watch. At the end of the day, they love snuggling up together with their humans. Their bond is incredibly sweet, and they must be adopted together.

Miss Mitt doesn’t pay much attention to cats, so feline friends are generally no big deal to her. She can be a little cautious and occasionally feisty around other dogs, though, so slow introductions and thoughtful management will be important.

She is currently working on her leash manners, as she gets so excited about her walks that she sometimes wants to pull ahead and pick up the pace. With a little guidance, she can be redirected, and she does well walking alongside Milo. Miss Mitt is crate trained and does well staying in her crate when her humans leave the house. She may be a little vocal at first, but she settles down. At night, she and Milo love to snuggle up and sleep in bed with their humans. She will use pee pads during the night if she needs to go, and will go potty outside as long as she is taken out often. She does great riding in a car.

Miss Mitt is looking for a loving family who will embrace her fun-loving personality, give her plenty of opportunities to play, and make room for lots of cuddles and kisses. Most importantly, she needs a family with room in their hearts for both her and Milo. These two have so much love to give and are ready to find a forever home where they can continue being best friends for life. They do have a little separation anxiety, so we want someone who is home more often than not, and apartment living would not be suitable for them because they can be a little barky for a short while when their people leave. They are not destructive though. We are not requiring a fenced yard, but they would love to have a secure area to run around and play in. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe Miss Mitt and Milo might be the perfect additions to your family, complete an adoption application and tell us more about you. Miss Mitt promises to bring the sunshine, the silliness, and plenty of kisses!

Luke, aka Lukey Boy, is a very lovable approx. 12-year-old, 57lb Pit Bull Terrier mix. Don’t let his age fool you, this boy is healthy and has so much more life and love to give! Luke has a sad story - he was a Lil Rascal back in 2019. He was found tied to a railroad track, taken to the shelter, and put on the euthanasia list. Lil Rascals saved him just in time, and since 2019, he has been living a wonderful life until recently when his momma passed away. His life was turned upside down with no family, no home and nowhere to go. His momma's family couldn't keep him so he came back to Lil Rascals, and now is in boarding, living his life in a kennel, wondering what he did wrong.

Even though he is a senior, he has so much more love to give and wants nothing more than to give love back. His favorite thing to do is to be with his human(s). Whether that be lounging on the couch or going for a walk, having his human(s) with him is the best thing in life. People in general are Luke's favorite thing. Even when he first meets you, he acts like he’s known you his whole life and is so excited to see you! Whether you’re an adult, elder, or a child he absolutely loves everyone and everyone who has ever met this sweet boy loves him. With those big brown eyes and sweet disposition what’s not to love?

Luke is house trained and used to apartment life and also knows how to use a dog door. He can be left alone inside without issues. Unsure if he is crate trained. He loves to sleep on the couch, his dog bed, and at night cuddling next to his human(s). Luke does not get along with other dogs or cats. Not getting along with other dogs and cats is really his only down fall. He has been around chickens and cows through a fence and showed no interest. With dogs, he does fine when he is walking by on a leash. He has a tendency to pull while walking on a leash but otherwise does great on a leash.

One great thing about Luke? He doesn’t bark! Aside from the occasional whine or grunt because he’s hungry, wants attention or needs to go potty, this handsome boy doesn’t make a sound. He does extremely well in car rides. He has made the journey from Florida to Texas to eventually California and then back to Florida from California!

Luke is definitely a toy and treat guy. His favorite toys are anything with squeakers and tennis balls, he loves to play fetch! At 12, this boy can still jump! He also loves to get his “poop treat” after he goes potty. He also loves getting his pup cup at the coffee shop or treat from the sweet teller at the bank.

If you’re looking for a dog that has low to moderate energy to lounge around with, go for a walk, travel with, play fetch or tug of war, Luke is your guy. He will greet you like he hasn’t seen you in years and love and comfort you like there is nothing else better in this world to do. If you believe you have the perfect home for Luke to live out the remainder of his years, complete an app and tell us more about you.

Puzzle does great on a leash and knows exactly what his harness and leash mean. He’s always ready to get dressed for an adventure. He also absolutely LOVES car rides and is a fantastic passenger.

Puzzle is dog-friendly but does best with slow, proper introductions to new canine friends. He also needs a little time to warm up to unfamiliar people, including children. Once he feels comfortable and secure, his sweet personality begins to shine. His experience with cats is unknown.

Puzzle loves playing with toys, but he does have a tendency to guard them from other dogs, so supervised playtime and keeping toys separate when necessary are important. He also does best when fed separately from other dogs.

One thing to know about Puzzle is that he may display some barrier reactivity, sometimes growling or lunging when other dogs approach while he is in his crate. Outside of his crate, he does well with other dogs when given proper introductions. Puzzle would do best with a patient, understanding family who will give him the time and space he needs to build trust and confidence. With consistency, positive reinforcement, and lots of love (and treats), this sweet boy has so much potential.

Despite his uncertain beginnings, Puzzle is a resilient little guy who has so much love to give. He’s learning what it means to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. He just needs someone willing to understand him, respect his boundaries, and give him the forever home he deserves. With patience, consistency, and love, he has so much potential to become an amazing companion. We are requiring a secure fenced yard for him. Could you be the missing piece to Puzzle’s forever home? If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect home for Puzzle, complete an app and tell us more about you.

Meet Cici and Cubby. Sometimes life takes an unexpected turn, and two little hearts find themselves wondering what happened to their world they once knew. That’s what happened to Cubby and Cici. After a death in their family, these two beloved companions were surrendered to our rescue. Cubby, at 12 years old and Cici, at 9 years old, suddenly found themselves in an unfamiliar place, scared and confused. After years of knowing the comfort of home, everything they knew had changed. But with a little love, patience and affection, these two sweet souls are finding their way through again. They’re learning that there are still kind hands to pet them, loving arms to hold them and people who care.

Cici - our precious little booty girl! Oh, sweet Cici! Where do we begin with this adorable 9-year-old yorky. She is the cutest little munchkin with a charming little sway and waddle to her walk. Her foster mom affectionately calls her "my little booty girl," and once you see her toddling along, you’ll understand why. She’s absolutely precious! Cici is a quiet little girl with a sweet personality and a special way of letting you know what she wants. Sometimes she’ll talk to you a little and I have a feeling she’s trying to tell me something important. Maybe she’d like a little pick up and to carry her around. Maybe she wants a little snack. Or perhaps she simply thinks it’s time for a little extra attention. After all, a girl deserves to be spoiled now and then. And Cici certainly knows how to melt your heart. She’s a loving little sweetheart who would be perfectly happy being carried around by her favorite person, enjoying the comfort of knowing she’s safe and loved. She has a gentle presence that makes you want to scoop her up, give her kisses and tell her everything‘s going to be all right. Cici is doing well with her house training - uses peepee pads - along with walks and backyard outings. She does great on a leash and loves going for walks and she’s great on car rides. But wherever Cici goes there is one very important companion she wants by her side, her beloved Cubby.

Cubby is a little gentleman with a big heart! Cubby is a 12-year-old male dachshund with the most beautiful soft red fur and a heart full of love. He’s an affectionate, friendly little gentleman who seems to know that life is sweeter when you have someone special by your side and for Cubby, that someone is his best girl Cici. Cubby is a calm, quiet boy who doesn’t bark much but don’t mistake his quiet nature for a lack of personality. He’s always happy to welcome a kind person, enjoy a good pet, and soak up a little extra affection. He loves his walks meeting new people and stretching out in the yard to enjoy a little sunshine. Because of his friendliness, he will make a wonderful companion. Cubby also rides quietly, he is house trained on peepee pads, walks well on leash and enjoys frequent trips outside. At this stage of his life, Cubby isn’t asking for much - he wants the simple things: a soft place to rest, a gentle hand to pet him, a sunny spot in the yard, and someone who will love him for the sweet little soul he is. Most of all he wants his sweet little Cici close.

Cubby and Cici are looking for a forever home together. They deserve to stay side-by-side, sharing their days with a family who will cherish and love them both now they are ready for their next chapter. Can you open your hearts to this sweet duo?

This bright, playful girl is happiest when she has an active family and a canine playmate who is at least her size and has a similar energy level and enthusiasm for play. Leona gets along wonderfully with her three foster siblings; however, they are all seniors and much smaller than she is. When she gets excited, Leona can play a little roughly, so she would do best with a confident, playful dog who can match her energy level and with people who will supervise interactions and help her practice good manners.

Leona also loves chewing on her antler bones and especially enjoys tearing apart her colorful wool balls. These wool balls are nontoxic and designed to be destroyed. Her fosters will send a few along with her in case her new family would like to continue providing her favorite toy. So far, Leona has not shown much interest in stuffed toys, ropes or tug toys, although that could change.

Leona can be cautious when meeting new people, but she warms up quickly—especially when they have cheese or dog cookies! Patient introductions, positive reinforcement, and allowing her to approach at her own pace will help her feel comfortable and build trust.

Leona sleeps quietly through the night in bed with her people, and we would like that to continue in her new home. She is generally quiet, but when she does not immediately get her way, she can become loud and vocal. She is a fast learner though, and usually settles down quickly. Leona is crate-trained, but she may initially cry before settling down. Her new family should be prepared to continue building her comfort with the crate and to use consistent, reward-based training to help her mature.

For these reasons, Leona needs a family with breed experience who understands that her small size comes with plenty of energy, opinions and personality. She will thrive with people who enjoy daily walks, interactive play, structure and continued training—and who will appreciate her affectionate, entertaining nature. Because of her small size, Leona needs a home with adults only, or if there are children in the home they must be responsible and respectful towards animals.

Leona is a beautiful, energetic and intelligent dog who very much wants to be someone’s special baby. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the active, patient and committed home she needs, please complete an application and tell us more about yourself!

He’s friendly, confident, and has absolutely no guard-dog tendencies. In fact, Mater’s philosophy is that everyone who walks through the door is a potential new best friend! He isn’t a big barker and is happy to greet just about everyone. Mater enjoys his walks and is a good walking companion. He also loves car rides and gets especially excited when it’s time for walks or mealtime. At home, though, he’s perfectly content lounging around and keeping his human company. He doesn’t need a yard to be happy, although he does love rolling around in the grass when he gets the opportunity. He’s not particularly interested in toys, although every now and then he’ll happily chew on a tennis ball. He’s also a little mouthy when excited—not in an aggressive way, but he sometimes jumps up with his mouth open when he’s happy or excited. He does have a chipped, sharp tooth, so adopters should be mindful of that during his enthusiastic greetings. Because of this excited, mouthy behavior, he may not be the best fit for a home with very young children. Mater isn’t a fan of the vacuum cleaner or very loud noises and would much rather retreat to another room until the commotion is over. Otherwise, he’s an incredibly low-maintenance guy who is happy to simply hang out with his people. Mater is the kind of dog who doesn’t need a lot to be happy. Give him a loving human, a few belly rubs, some walks, and a comfy place to relax, and he’ll be perfectly content. He truly doesn’t have a mean bone in his body and would love nothing more than to find a forever family to spend his golden years beside. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect home for Mater, complete an app and tell us more about you.

She does fine left alone and enjoys lounging on her favorite couch. Roxy is polite with toys, but mostly ignores them and prefers human interaction over the plushies. She also chooses her favorite humans over other dogs, and most likely with cats too. She has not officially been cat tested but has shown zero prey drive and seems to be pretty aloof around other animals. That's not to say she can't make friends. Her laid back, submissive personality is appreciated by other dogs and once acquainted, she will romp around in the yard and shower them with kisses. Then she loses interest and goes back to her person. As far as car rides go, she is terrified in the car and trembles for the majority of the ride but eventually settles in. A yard would be beneficial for her, but mainly she needs a quiet home, in a quiet community, with patient and loving people who will give this insecure pup the time she needs to settle in and become a confident member of the family. If you're looking for a fellow couch potato who shares your lack of enthusiasm at meeting new people... look no further. Your furry friend is in this gorgeous pup named Roxy! If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area, and believe you have the perfect home for Roxy, complete an app and tell us more about you.

He loves his toys, hanging with his dog friends, and has recently discovered that pool days are pretty fantastic too. He hasn’t committed to full-on swimming yet, but lounging on the sun shelf like he owns the place? Absolutely. Charlie is still a puppy, so he’ll need someone willing to continue his basic training. He isn’t completely potty trained yet, but he is smart, learns quickly, and is making great progress. His leash walking is also a work in progress. More than anything, Charlie needs a family who understands that the best relationships aren’t always instant. Sometimes the dog who hangs back at first becomes the one who loves you the hardest once he realizes he is finally safe. If you have a little patience, a soft couch, and room in your life for a gentle soul who just needs someone to believe in him, Charlie may be your boy. Charlie does need a friendly companion dog to help him feel confident, and he has separation anxiety so someone who is home most of the time or a work-from-home situation would be best for him. He's is more of a ladies' man, and kids tend to make him nervous. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect home for Charlie complete an app and tell us more about your family.

Blade is great in the car, crate trained, doing great at learning to walk on leash, enjoys playing with toys, and is just an all-around incredible little dude. His house training is still a work in progress (and it's mostly marking), but in the mean time, he sports a belly band with pride. He loves running around in a fenced yard, so that would certainly be preferable for him. He is a medium-energy boy, loves his zoomies but also knows how to chill with the best of them. Whether you're looking for a buddy to join you on your next adventure or a sweet little companion who would happily curl up in a soft bed and enjoy the good life, Blade is ready for either. He’s been through enough waiting. Now he’s looking for his forever person—the one who will show him just how good life can be. And in return, Blade promises to be the very bestest boy. We are requiring an all-adult home for Blade. If you believe Blade could be your new best friend and you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area, complete an app and tell us more about you.

She gets along with other dogs but is more of a laid-back companion than a playful pup. Her favorite thing is being close to her people and soaking up all the cuddles she can get. Since she is timid upon meeting, if the home has kids they should be older, respectful and know how to approach her calmly. She needs to build a relationship with her people, and learn trust with strangers. We do want an active family for her, one who can take her on daily walks, on adventures with them, and include her as part of the family.

Jackie is crate-trained is currently completing a board-and-train program, where she’s learning excellent leash manners, recall, and a solid place/stay. Since she is in a kennel, we are not 100% sure if she is house trained, but we think it is best if she can be taken out on a consistent schedule.

After everything this little girl has been through, she deserves a family who will give her the love, security and happily-ever-after she’s been waiting for. Could Jackie be your perfect little sidekick?

When we first met Apollo, he almost didn’t survive. He came to us suffering from severe starvation and heartbreaking neglect. But this approx. 5-year-old pitbull mix is a true warrior—he has fought his way back, recovered like an absolute champ, and has already gained a healthy 18 pounds! Despite the unthinkable cruelty he endured, Apollo’s spirit was never broken. In fact, he is easily the most loving, happiest, and sweetest dog you will ever meet. Here is why you’ll fall head over heels for him:

The Ultimate Snuggle Bug: Apollo loves to cuddle! He’s a giant lap dog at heart who wants nothing more than to be near his human.

Kid & People Approved: He absolutely adores people of all ages, including children!

Cat Friendly: He ignores cats and genuinely doesn’t mind sharing his space with feline friends.

Making Huge Strides: He is making amazing progress with potty training (as long as he’s kept on a regular routine, he has zero accident!) and is mastering crate training like a pro.

What Apollo Needs in a Home:

Because of the emotional scars from his past, Apollo will need a patient, compassionate family who will see past his emotional scars and love him for the sweet boy he truly is. Additionally, Apollo prefers to be the only dog in the home right now. He is still fearful of other dogs, though with time, proper training and safe socialization, he may continue to build confidence.

Apollo has given humans a second chance—now he just needs someone to give him one. Whether you are ready to adopt or want to try a foster-to-adopt path, you will be giving this resilient boy the peaceful chapter he so deeply deserves. Ready to be Apollo’s hero? Complete a foster or adoption app today to help us take the next step in his journey to forever. Please share his story—his perfect home is out there.

He’s nervous of thunderstorms but if you can be his thunderstorm buddy he would take on any storm as long as he’s by your side. Chico would thrive in an adult-only home (or with older kids if the home has kids) where he will receive structure and routine. Chico is a fun, affectionate little guy looking for a family who will continue his training, give him structure, and keep up with his playful personality. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect home for Chico Meeko, complete an app and tell us more about you.

Winnie is a super smart, high energy girl who LOVES her toys, treats, and learning new things! She already knows sit, down, and stay, and she is learning to use dog puzzles to keep her clever little brain busy. Her zoomies are the cutest, and this girl is FAST! She also LOVES the water. Looking for an adventure buddy? She’s your girl! Want a couch cuddle bug after a long day? She can be that too!

Winnie absolutely loves other dogs and does amazing with her foster brothers, but be prepared because this girl plays ROUGH! We are talking full body slams, wrestling, and nonstop fun. She needs another playful, energetic dog who can match her play style, so a senior dog or a pup who prefers a calmer lifestyle would not be the right fit. A dog sibling that matches her energetic play style is a must for her forever home.

Because Winnie is still learning to manage her excitement and can be uncomfortable when people get too close, she needs a home without young children. She is fully crate trained and is still working on her potty training. She learns incredibly quickly, but continued training is important for her success. Her adopter will be required to attend a training class in Orlando with her current trainer and continue practicing the training techniques at home.

This girl needs room to run and play, so a house with a securely fenced backyard is a must. Apartment living would not be a good fit for her. She is also quite vocal, so her family should be ready for her to share her opinions! Winnie LOVES car rides, but unfortunately, she gets extremely carsick and vomits. Also her gorgeous, long coat requires daily brushing and regular professional grooming.

Winnie is looking for a family who will embrace her goofy personality, keep her active, continue her training, and give her the time she needs to feel safe. In return, you’ll get a loving, playful, water loving girl who will keep you laughing, moving and cuddling for years to come. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe Winnie might be your perfect match, complete an adoption application and tell us more about you.

Raj is a total baby at heart. He is sweet, affectionate, playful, and absolutely loves attention. He’s happiest when he’s getting cuddles, soaking up affection, or hanging out with his people. He has plenty of playful puppy energy when it’s time to have fun, but he also has a softer side that makes you want to scoop him up and keep him close.

Like all puppies, Raj is still learning about the world and will need a family who is ready to help him grow into the best dog he can be. His new family should be prepared for potty training, continued socialization, positive-reinforcement training, and teaching him good manners. Raising a puppy is a big commitment but it’s also a lot of fun watching their personality develop and seeing them become the dog they were meant to be.

Raj will be adopted with a spay/neuter addendum.

Raj is currently being fostered in the Orlando area and is available for adoption to families throughout Florida. If you’re ready for a little redheaded, short-legged cuddlebug to grow up by your side, Raj is ready to meet you.
