UPDATE:

Ralphie is growing into the most wonderful boy!!! He continues to spread joy wherever he goes. Ralphie is full of energy and full of love and pure sweetness. He’s now house trained, crate trained and rides beautifully in the car. He’s got a good start on his basic commands.

What’s Ralphie’s ideal home? His adoptive family must have another young, active and playful dog . Ralphie loves all dogs and needs a 4-legged buddy to run the yard with and wrestle. He must have a large, securely-fenced yard– he’s a field-bred pup who needs to run! He does need to be crated or confined when left alone, so a stay or work-at-home person is ideal.

Ralphie is THE best boy! We’re looking for a home who will spend lots of time with and continue to work on his training so that he continues to grow up to be the best dog he can be.

Meet precious Ralphie!  While he was the smallest of his litter, he has THE biggest heart!  He’s pure sweetness who will nod off to sleep while being swaddled and hugged.  He will make your heart melt!

Ralphie is an explorer.  You’ll always find him in the middle of something and everything.  While he’s lower key than his siblings, he will seek out anything in the yard he can play tug with or climb.  He’s a Springer pup after all!  And he’s a singer—woowoo!

We’re searching for an active family with an energetic and playful dog, a securely-fenced spacious yard, and a family who isn’t away for extended periods of time.  Ralphie’s adoptive family must commit to training to ensure Ralphie matures into the perfect furry child in his Forever Home.  He is very smart and redirects well.  Last and certainly not least, we are looking for a very loving home where he will be absolutely adored.  His routine is sleeping, napping and eating meals in his crate – and play!

Ralphie is healthy and energetic, current on all age-appropriate vaccines, fecal negative, on heartworm and flea preventatives, as well as microchipped.
