Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Ralphie is a very sweet and energetic 13 year old male Bichon Yorkie Mix. He is up to date on vaccines, very healthy and spunky! This cute boy has lots of love to give you!
He loves loves loves to go on long walks, play with his toys, and hang out with his humans. He loves to give kisses and will sleep with you or just decide to go sleep in another room (he is confident that way) He is also very good with other dogs. He doesn't act at all his age and is very energetic and can jump on and off the bed, couch etc.
He was adopted to his current owner by our rescue about 10 years ago, but she has recently had 2 strokes and can't walk him or care for him anymore. The last time she tried to walk with him she fell and he got loose and neighbors had to run after him to get him back. She knew then that for his and her safety it would be best to find him a new loving home.
Ralphie would do best with a steady potty schedule so he doesn't have any accidents inside. So someone that can take him out every 4 hours or so throughout the day. Someone that works from home, is a YOUNG retired person, or only works part time would be ideal for Ralphie.
If you are interested in adopting Ralphie please fill out an adoption application at this link: http://www.bichonrescuenj.com/bichon-frise-rescue-nnj-adoption-app.html
If you have already filled out an application with OUR rescue, please email me at NNJBichonRescue@yahoo.com and I will look it up.
Ralphie is currently being fostered in Bergen County NJ. You should live within 3 hours drive Northern NJ
