Ralphie is a 12-year-old Husky who brings classic Husky looks without the energy that usually comes with them. He’s a big guy, weighing about 54 pounds, and has entered his senior phase—he spends most days napping in his favorite spot and generally prefers a slow, quiet pace. While his eyes and ears aren’t what they used to be, he manages thanks to a keen sense of where the snacks are, especially anything soft. Ralphie is both housebroken and crate trained, although he’ll need a little encouragement to get into his crate, after which he snoozes right through the night. Leash walks suit him well—he barely ever pulls and sticks right by your side. He gets along with other calm, laid-back dogs but isn’t looking for a playmate anymore. He has been indifferent to outdoor cats; a thorough home cat test is available if needed. Ralphie does well with older kids and teenagers, but young children aren’t his speed—he likes his space and needs his naps undisturbed. Medical-wise, he has some vision and hearing loss, stiff joints, and a raspy voice from laryngeal paralysis. He’s on a basic supplement routine. Don’t expect him to come running, but he still knows his commands and follows hand signals with a stubborn Husky streak. If you’re after a low-key companion with graying fur and character, Ralphie is waiting in Milton, DE. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
