My story

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

Meet Ralphie, a Setter mix puppy born around 10/23/25. He’s already an expert in all things puppy: playing hard, loving big, and making people smile. This awesome little guy is super playful, and absolutely loves romping around with his siblings. He’s also doing great making friends with his foster dog siblings. Ralphie believes everyone is a potential new best friend. While he enjoys classic puppy toys, his true passion might surprise you… strings. Yes, like a kitten. If it dangles, Ralphie is all in. When he’s not busy playing, Ralphie can usually be found outside exploring every inch of it, following his nose and checking out all the exciting smells. A fenced-in yard would be a dream come true for this curious little explorer. Despite his playful side, Ralphie has a serious soft spot for snuggles. When the weather turns chilly, he transforms into a heat seeking missle, happily curling up in your arms and soaking up all the warmth and affection he can get. He also has a hilarious and heart-melting habit of booping noses. He’s quickly becoming a professional, and he takes his job very seriously. Because Ralphie is still very young, he’s looking for a family who is home often, and excited to help him with all the important puppy things: training, learning, and growing into the best boy he can be. He should weigh around 45 pounds when fully grown. He is current on his vaccines. His adoption fee includes his future neuter and microchip. If you’re looking for a playful, snuggly, nose-booping puppy who will keep you laughing and steal your heart, Ralphie just might be your perfect match.

More about this rescue

Carolina P.A.W.S. is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization comprised of a network of compassionate Carolinians, all of whom are volunteers. We are devoted to helping abandoned and abused cats and dogs throughout the greater Charlotte area find loving homes. CPAWS does not have a facility and relies entirely on volunteer foster parents to care for an animal until we are able to find a pet their forever home. Our founding members have been collectively involved in animal rescue for over 20 years.

Carolina P.A.W.S. volunteers can be found "in the trenches," rescuing animals at high risk- those starving on the streets, languishing in shelters, and suffering in abusive situations. Each animal has a different past but our promise to them all is the same…a second chance. We provide them with medical attention, rehabilitate them physically and emotionally, and care for them in foster homes until they can be placed in loving permanent homes.

Along the way, we prepare them to become wonderful companions by taking the time to socialize them and patiently teaching them to trust. We also spay/neuter each one, provide all inoculations, and ensure that they are in perfect health before being made available for adoption.
