About Ralph ~ 4yr Old Kelpie(On Trial 7/06/21)
Meet Ralph! This gorgeous boy is a 4 year old kelpie.
Ralph is a very friendly boy! He may be a little timid at first but quickly warms up and will be very affectionate and will shower you with love.
Ralph was a rejected working dog and his current owners took him in by to save him, but he needs a different environment with more activity and maybe some more room to run.
Despite his thwarted career ambitions, Ralph still definitely has a strong working dog instinct. He would suit a rural and or very active lifestyle. Ralph likes long walks and the beach, has good recall and walks well off lead if owners are in a suitable area for this. On the lead he can pull a little, but nothing too bad.
As long as his activity levels and mental stimulation are met, Ralph may be suited to owners who work full time as he doesn't bark or cry when left alone, and he isn’t destructive.
Although he is also very friendly with kids, he is skittish when kids are running around making lots of noise, and like a lot of kelpies he also shows some herding behaviours with kids. For this reason Ralph is only suited to a family with older kids.
Ralph gets super excited around other dogs (maybe a little too excited) and he may be suited to a home with other dogs. He isn’t tested with cats or small animals.
Ralph has some basic training down pat, but he loves treats so will respond well to further training and will no doubt be eager to learn!
Ralph has a minor hip issue that may be from an old injury, but it has not changed or worsened in the years his current owners have had him and it doesn't affect his activity or movement.
If you’re after an active boy with lots of love to give, Ralph is your man. To register your interest in adopting Ralph, you can fill out the adoption questionnaire here https://tinyurl.com/drnadopt or for more information please contact Amalia at amaliak@live.com
Ralph's adoption fee is $450 and he is desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, and has been treated for fleas and worms. Ralph currently lives in the Lake Macquarie Area (Newcastle Region NSW)

(3) After that we will arrange for you to meet the pet, usually at the foster
carer's home, nearby park or your home.
