Rafiki is a special 5 month old Doberman. She has Megaesophagus, which means food has difficulty getting from her mouth to her stomach. Rafi will need to eat and drink upright for the rest of her life, ideally in a Bailey chair. She will require equally as special parents, dedicated to her feeding needs. This sweetheart has a ton of puppy energy, and plays just like a normal Doberman. She will need activity and structure like any puppy. Gentle and great at picking up on cues, Rafiki does well with other dogs and cats. She also loves youngsters and is eligible for adoption to families with children.
