Meet Ralphie! This 12ish-year-old male Husky is a heart-stealer wrapped in a fluff of grey and white fur, weighing in at a cuddly 54 pounds. 💖 Life as a distinguished elder pup means he's not just a showstopper but also carries a few quirks. He has some vision and hearing loss (hey, he's earned those old man stripes), plus a bit of rough breathing due to laryngeal paralysis. But don’t let that fool you; Ralphie’s spirit shines brightly! 🌟 Spotting him might just require a soft voice or a gentle pat, but once he's in the mood, he’ll charm his way into your heart. Yes, he’s got a little *stinky breath* and some *old man joints*, but with a fish oil supplement and oral care foam, he’s ready for a second round of adventures! Ralphie's a genius when it comes to his commands—he knows *sit*, *paw*, and *down*, and he prefers to show off with hand signals. This clever guy has a personality to match—he'll give you some Husky attitude whenever he feels like turning on his charm or, well, refusing to do something. 😂 You might find him chatting back when he's not interested in following orders—who knew grandpas could be so sassy?! He’s quite the hangout buddy, sleeping most of the day away in his favorite spot—trust us, he knows where he wants to be and isn’t shy about letting you know if he can’t get there! Ralphie is happy to go for leisurely walks on the leash, barely ever pulling—he’s in it for the sniffs and strolls, not the sprints! 🚶‍♂️ Although he doesn’t need a fenced-in yard, he’ll happily join you on adventures as long as he’s leashed. When car rides roll around, this low-energy dog lays down, soaking in the sights from his comfy spot. 🐶 He’s a friendly fella looking for a soothing environment, so he thrives best with older kids who won’t disturb his beauty rest. Ralphie does well with calmer dogs but hasn't had much interaction with cats—he simply didn’t care about the outside ones. If you think your household could accommodate this loving, wise soul, it’s time to take action! Click to apply through the Buddy App and embark on this heartwarming journey with Ralphie. Similar to a cozy elder who loves his naps, Ralphie is searching not only for comfort but also for love. ❤️ Keep in mind: you must meet him in person to truly experience his cuddly charm! Fostering location: Delmar, MD.
