If you're looking for a senior dog who's big stature with an even bigger heart, Ralphie might just be your guy. This sweet, gentle giant came to us as a stray from the local shelter, but you'd never guess it by how much he loves being around people. Ralphie is calm, affectionate, and happiest when he's near his humans soaking up attention. Ralphie is also a polite pup who already knows “sit” and “paw” and he's always happy to show off his manners for a treat or a little praise. Despite his size, he's a quiet soul. In fact, he rarely barks at all! The most you'll hear from him is the occasional soft whine when he wants a little extra love. He's dog-friendly and enjoys the company of other pups, making him a great candidate for a home with a canine friend. Ralphie is currently learning that crates aren't scary and that leash walks can be pretty fun, too. With a little patience and encouragement, he's sure to keep improving every day. Ralphie's ideal home is one where his gentle nature is appreciated and where he can continue building confidence and learning new things. In return, he'll give you loyalty, quiet companionship, and plenty of big-dog cuddles. If you've been searching for a calm, loving companion with a heart as big as his paws, Ralphie is ready to meet you. All MAD dogs come with a Fi Collar and 6 month subscription.
