Ralph

Good things definitely come in small packages and this little boy is the proof. His name is Ralph, and he is a Chihuahua about 2 years old.

Ralph is a quiet and self-contained little guy. He’s very cute, with one ear up and one ear down, and caramel-coloured eyebrows on his little black head.

Ralph likes to be part of all that is going on at his foster-carer’s house, but unlike a lot of the other dogs in care – the ones that just have to comment on EVERYthing! – he keeps his opinions to himself. There’s nothing he likes more than to sit quietly on your knee while you stroke him and tell him he’s a gorgeous boy, and he thinks cuddling up in bed with you all night is just devine! He gets on with the other dogs – the little ones being his favourites – but quite possibly he wouldn’t care at all if none of them were there. This means Ralph could be adopted into a home where he was the only dog (so long as he received lots and lots of attention), or equally well to a home with another small dog or two (he’s not one to boast, but all the little girl dogs love him!) Ralph is not a timid dog at all, and he is quite capable of giving cheek to one of the other dogs when it’s warranted, but mostly he just considers that kind of behaviour is beneath him.

Being a Chihuahua Ralph is only very small and his little body is quite delicate. For this reason he would not suit a home with small children who could be unintentionally rough with him.

We haven’t seen Ralph with cats so can’t say how he reacts to them. Many cats would be bigger than Ralph, so perhaps only very nice pussycats would be suitable.

Ralph is in foster carer in Raymond Terrace. His adoption fee is $450 and he is desexed, vaccinated, and will be lifetime registered on the completion of his trial.
