My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

** RALPH IS NOT IN THE DIRECT CARE OF HAPPY TAILS HAPPY HOME. His current owner is rehoming him and we are assisting in that process. If you are interested in Ralph, please fill out an application at https://www.happytailshappyhomes.org/adoptionform **

Meet Ralph!
Ralph is a 2½-year-old Shepherd mix (born 1/14/2023) with a big personality, lots of smarts, and energy to match. This playful, affectionate boy is looking for an active home that can keep up with his zest for life.

Ralph is a quick learner who already knows sit, stay, lay down, spin, come, and kennel up. He’s potty trained, sleeps quietly in his kennel at night, and loves toys, chew sticks, and bones. Outside, you’ll often catch him chasing butterflies—a true free spirit!

While Ralph can be skittish and a little anxious with new people or dogs, he warms up quickly and becomes affectionate and fun-loving. He enjoys playing with other dogs and would thrive with dog-savvy humans who can give him structure, patience, and plenty of activity.

Ralph does well on walks but may pull a bit when excited—he’s eager to learn and improve with consistent training. With his high energy, intelligence, and affectionate nature, Ralph will make a loyal adventure companion for the right family.
