Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Ralph!
Hi! My name is Ralph, and I came all the way from Georgia. I’m 12 years old and around 17 lb. Being a Jack Russell mix you might think I have a ton of energy, but I actually prefer to sleep most of the day. I do get little spurts of energy, but I'd much rather lay in my bed. My hearing and vision aren’t so good anymore but I still love to get pets and I'm a pretty laid back dude. Plus, I never bark at the vacuum because I don’t even hear it!
I recently had a surgery to get rid of those nasty bladder stones, and since then I can hold my potty all day while my foater mom is at work! She said I don’t make a mess at all! I’m also on a urinary diet to help prevent those pesky bladder stones. I've had them a couple times, and they are no fun!
I do love going for walks and sleeping in my bed. I get along well with other dogs, and would actually prefer to live with at least one other dog, as I really enjoy their company. Foster mom says I'm a pretty mellow old dude I'd likely get along with cats and respectful kids, especially since I'm mostly blind. Now I'm just looking for my forever home with like minded humans! Take care of me and I will love you in return. Are you ready to bring a new handsome pal like myself home with you?

Disclaimer: It is VERY difficult even for a veterinarian to tell the exact age of a dog over two years old. From one vet to another, we can get different age estimates on the same dog and they can vary by several years. We are only making an educated guess based on a few factors like teeth, fur color, and overall body condition, but for dogs who have not been given adequate vet care and food, it can be even more difficult. Every dog is an individual, and we do our very best to age appropriately but make no guarantees as to the age of any dog in our program.
