🌟 Meet Ralphie, the little miracle who’s ready to turn your world into a joyful adventure! 🌟 This brave soul was found tied to a chain-link fence in Hartford, abandoned and filled with fear. Can you even imagine? But wait, this is where the story takes a hopeful twist! When Ralphie arrived at the Hartford town pound, life took a beautiful turn. 🐾 With a heart full of courage, he slowly began to shed his worries and reveal his true self. And now? Oh, now he’s a happy, tail-wagging bundle of joy! 🐶💖 Toys are his favorite, and he can’t help but bounce around with excitement when playtime rolls around. He’s made so many furry friends and loves interacting with other dogs. But here’s where it gets a tad serious: Ralphie does have a small issue with resource guarding. He’s been working hard on this and has made great strides. 🎉 He can now enjoy his meals surrounded by his dog pals, sharing the kitchen floor like the good boy he is. However, he might still show a little possessiveness over his favorite toy or bed, or that random tidbit that falls to the floor. Therefore, a home with small children might not be the best fit for our precious Ralphie. This sweet little guy is around two years old, weighs in at 11 pounds, and is believed to be a Shih Tzu mix! 🥰 He’s neutered, vetted, and ready to steal hearts. With a little more love, patience, and continued training, Ralphie is going to be someone’s greatest companion. 🫶✨ Don't wait to bring this loveable snuggle bug home!

(Note: Local in-person meetings are required for adoption, so be sure to check Ralphie's progress in the Buddy App and prepare to welcome this incredible soul into your life!)
