My story

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

Meet Mr. Cute & Curious — Ralphie ❤️
Ralphie is pure joy in a short + stout 16 lb package 🥹
Approx. 1.5 years old, this happy little guy steals hearts instantly.
Ralphie is “slew-footed” (out-toeing), likely from birth or early nutrition — and it only adds to his charm. It doesn’t slow him down one bit! He runs, plays, climbs stairs, hops, and zooms like any other dog 🐕💨
✨ Personality:
• Sweet, goofy, and full of life
• BIG personality + constant laughs
• Social butterfly — loves people & dogs
• Curious about everything (puppy-proofing is a must!)
🏡 Home Life:
• Walks well on leash
• Loves yard play & toy time
• Doing great with outdoor pottying (belly band indoors for marking)
• LOVES to play and roughhouse with other dogs
• Must have at least one playful dog sibling
• No cats
💤 Snuggle Mode:
When playtime’s over, Ralphie is a total cuddle bug 🥰
He loves being held like a baby and taking cozy naps.
💼 Ideal Home:
• Humans home most of the time (WFH or dog-friendly workplace)
• Not a fan of being alone
• No apartments/townhomes (he may bark/howl when left)
• Crate is a work in progress during the day, but he sleeps quietly in it overnight
• Would happily choose the human bed if given the option 😉
🚗 Bonus: Great in the car & dog-friendly stores!
Ralphie will bring endless love, laughter, and joy to the right home ❤️🐾
