*Icelandic Spitz (a.k.a. Icelandic Sheepdog)
Hi! I'm Ralphie! My owner can no longer take care of me so I'm now looking for my forever home! Yes, I'm one handsome boy and quite the character! I'm approx. 2 years old and approx. 50 pounds(3/25). I'm extremely sweet, loving, friendly and playful. I'm well socialized and have never met a stranger. You'll see how wonderful I am in my video. I'm great with OLDER kids. I need to have a home where I'm the only pet. I like to have all of the attention! I'm not good with cats. I like to be with my person. I bond the best with men. I like to greet new people with a hug and jump up gently to give it. I'm highly intelligent and mind well inside. I'm very calm inside. I'm house and crate trained. I know many commands like, sit, shake, etc. I need some leash work. I get very excited to go for a walk and I tend to pull. I also like to chase squirrels and other small animals when I'm on a walk. With a little patience and training I can kick those habits. I come when called and I'm not a barker. I do not have food aggression but a little protective over my chew treats. They're so yummy! I like to lie by my foster's feet when she is watching television or working. I also like to lie on the couch while being petted and loved on. I love to play fetch. I have a happy go lucky temperament and my tail is always wagging. I'd love to have a forever home with a big fenced in yard so I can stretch my legs and put my ears in the wind. If you're looking for a fun, loving, smart and beautiful furry companion, then look no further! I'm ready to learn new things and finally live the good life I so richly deserve! I'd love to be an exciting addition to your wonderful life! I'll provide the unconditional love and you can provide the safe and loving home! Belly rubs are a must!

All pets come with up-to-date vaccines, deworming, microchip, and health certificate from veterinarian within 48-72 hrs of transport. Adults are also sterilized and heartworm tested prior to placement. For more information/application visit our website at carolinacaninerescuenc.com TRANSPORTATION TO THE NORTHEAST IS AVAILABLE. All pets come from NC/VA (our euthanasia rate is approx 85%) and must be quarantined (to ensure health) prior to leaving the state. We go ahead and post them in hopes of them having a home ready and waiting for them to go, once their quarantine period is over. We also adopt into Canada. FAST, AFFORDABLE TRANSPORTATION IS AVAILABLE if needed along the eastern United States, SO PLEASE DON'T LET DISTANCE STOP YOU FROM ADOPTING!
