Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Ralphie is a handsome and fun, two-year-old, male Yorkie or Silky Terrier looking for a loving guardian.
This sweet boy was dropped off at a Chicago shelter. Luckily he was rescued by Famous Fido and quickly found a foster home which he has enjoyed for the past month.
Ralphie loves to play ball and gets along just fine with other dogs. He knows the command “sit” especially when there is a treat involved. He’s crate-trained and still perfecting his housebreaking.
He enjoys sleeping in bed with his foster family. He does rummage through the trash when left unattended so he is crated when not being supervised.
Ralphie bonds quickly with new people and lets you pick him up and carry him around.
Ralphie is extremely healthy, de-wormed, neutered, micro-chipped, up-to-date on vaccines and heartworm-tested. If you are interested in adopting him, please fill in the online application at http://famousfidorescue.com/rescueforms/machform/view.php?id=26727
His adoption fee of $250 benefits the rescued pets of Famous Fido’s.
