Hi, I'm Ralphy! I'm a 4-year-old boy with a big, sweet heart, but I can be a little shy at first. I'm looking for a patient, loving family who will give me time to feel safe and comfortable. Once I trust you, I'm a total sweetheart. I love gentle pets, cozy snuggles, and just hanging out with my humans. I'm curious about the world, but I sometimes need a little encouragement to explore it. I do best with calm, kind people who understand that I move at my own pace. Treats and praise are my favorite motivators, and they help me gain confidence and learn new things. I'm looking for a family who will celebrate my small victories, be patient with me, and help me blossom into the happy, confident dog I'm meant to be. I promise that once I feel safe, I'll reward you with loyalty, love, and plenty of heart-melting moments. Ralphy is also eligible for our Foster to Adopt program. To participate in the Foster to Adopt program, you will need to complete the Foster to Adopt application which requires you to watch two short videos (less than 9 minutes total for the two) and answer 8 questions.
