About Ralph
Say hello to Ralph, a Golden retriever and Labrador mix. He is a happy dog who's on the lookout for a new family. He's the perfect companion for those who enjoy an active, outdoor lifestyle. His confident and cheeky personality is balanced by his intelligence and independence, making him an intriguing mix of playful energy and thoughtful curiosity.
Ralph loves playing with other dogs and is eager to introduce himself to every pup he meets. He's described as a bit of a rough player, but his overarching friendliness and tolerant nature make him a delightful playmate. He loves people and enjoys any chance to play with them, especially when it involves a fun and engaging activity.
This bright and energetic pup knows basic commands, displaying his willingness to learn and adapt. With a strong food motivation and the ability to focus, Ralph is highly trainable and can benefit from continued mental enrichment. His jumps of excitement are just a part of his personality, and they showcase his eagerness to please and interact.
Ralph is toilet trained, making him a good fit for first-time dog owners. This active breed would thrive with a family who enjoys spending time outdoors, engaging in activities that cater to his energetic and playful nature.

Adoption details
We run by appointment, prefferibly all members of the household to come meet the animal you are wanting to adopt.
If you own another dog, you must bring them along to make sure all dogs get along.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
Appointment Hours:
Mon- Fri
1:00PM- 4PM
Saturdays for Sept
10am-1pm
Sat 6th
Sat 20th
Please give the shelter a call on 5334 2075 or email animalshelter@ballarat.vic.gov.au for more information about the animal and our adoption procedures.
Apologies if we do not reply to your enquiry, we are a busy Shelter and get pulled away from the office often.
We appreciate you wanting to adopt! Please do not let this discourage you from adopting in the future!
