About Ralph

Ladies and gentlemen please meet #Ralph aka Ralphie. He's a 2-3 year old, lab/pit mix who is just a goofy boy & is ready to meet his forever family. Ralph is a perfectly mannered gentleman with the calm personality, but can also be very playful when he feels like it. Ralph does great with other dogs and will fit into any pack out into his path. He hasn't had a lot of interaction with kids, but seems to be very gentle with them. Cats are unknown at this point. Ralph is 100% potty trained and 100% crate trained. This boy went through a lot in his short life and is very shy at first, but with a calming and loving environment he will come out of his shell in no time. Due to Ralph's shy personality, we are making it a requirement that there is another dog companion in his prospective home to show him the ropes. Ralph is currently up for adoption through Lending a Helping Paw Dog Rescue. Our adoption fee is $350 and will include his distemper, rabies, bordetella, parvo, and lepto vaccines; deworming, microchip, heartworm test, and being fixed. Ralph is heartworm negative and is currently on heartworm prevention, as well as flea & tick preventative. ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS: No Exceptions - No Apartments - Privacy fenced in yard is Required (An Invincible Fence is NOT Acceptable) - Must have another dog in his prospective home - Training: His adopter must attend a minimum of 1 series of ONLY 'Force Free Training Courses.' Our training partners over at K9 Turbo Training have offered all of our adopters discounted rates. Training the dog yourself will not be acceptable. - We kindly ask that you please wait to ask any questions until the phone interview.

Vet Checks: When adopting through our rescue, we 'ALWAYS' do a vet check on each applicant's pets that they have owned over the past 10 years. Please make sure to call your vet to grant them permission to release this information to our rescue. That being said, all of the animals in each applicant's home must be UTD on all of their vaccines (DHLPP & Rabies), an UTD Heartworm Test, & currently on both Flea & Tick, as well as Heartworm Prevention.
