About Ralph ~ 1yr Old Mastiff X (On Trial 28/08/20)
Meet the handsome Ralph. Ralph came into care as a young pup who desperately needed some loving from our amazing carers. Hes certainly landed on his feet and is ready to find the most amazing forever home. Hes getting pretty excited and is exceptionally keen to meet his new family.
Ralph is a super affectionate energetic dog that really wants to be a good boy.
If you tell him he is a good boy, he will keep doing what you praised him for. He loves a cuddle and will always find a gap to squeeze into to get maximum cuddles. He is really playful and spends hours each day playing, wrestling and sharing toys with his foster sister. They can always be found laying on top of each other or running around side by side.
Ralph really needs to go to a home that has another dog. He loves his humans but really relies on another dog for company and confidence. He has a sweet little nature and a goofy smile. For this reason, homes without another dog already living within the home will not be suitable for Ralph. His forever home must have another dog friendly, de sexed dog who can rough and tumble with this lovable goofball.
Ralph eats absolutely anything and has recently learned to catch so giving treats
has become even more exciting. He is highly motivated by food which makes training very easy. He is also very gentle when taking food from the hand. When in play mode, Ralph is full of beans and happiness. He runs around and bounces from here to there. He makes you happy just watching him. He loves playing and wrestling
with his foster sister and then falls asleep on top of her afterwards.
Ralph has just discovered the joys a frisbee can bring and getting pretty good at bringing it back and dropping it for you. Within a day Ralph learned to sit and has learnt more commands like shake and stay. He is fantastic when he is off lead and always comes back when called. He is also toilet trained which is an added bonus! Ralph has whispered in his foster carers ear that he would love a family who invites him inside as he loves being part of the family. Hes a smart boy and would definitely benefit from people who have had experience with the breed.
Due to Ralph's size and age, he would be best suited to a home with no children or children over the age of 12yrs old. As he is still a puppy, he can sometimes forget his size and strength so homes with older children will be preferred. Ralph has previously lived with a cat, however this isnt a recent thing, and would need correct and well managed introductions to ensure success long term.
