🐈🐈 Cat-friendly 🐈🐈

After years of hard work (doing, you know… all the things adorable little dogs do), Ralphie is thoroughly enjoying retirement.

Each day, his schedule is pretty packed: wake up ☀️, nap 💤, follow his favorite human around ❤️, maybe take a walk 👟, nap again 😴, then off to bed before the evening news is over. 🌙

Ralphie is a handsome little Chihuahua mix who is 10 years old and weighs 16 pounds. He's not interested in toys anymore, but he’s fully committed to the art of napping. Don't let his retirement lifestyle fool you, though. 🚨 Clip on his leash and this little guy suddenly becomes the swiftest retiree in town! 💨 His foster says he comes alive on walks, happily cruising along with surprising pep in his step.

One of the sweetest things about Ralphie is that he likes to drag his dog bed or a rug across the room just so he can nap a little closer to his favorite person. 🥹 Ralphie gets along great with dogs of all sizes... and cats, too. He's still getting the hang of house training (he's really trying!), sleeps soundly in his own bed each night, and would love a quiet home with people who are around more often than not. He'd also do best in a home without young, high-energy kids.

Because Ralphie has cataracts and some hearing loss, it's best not to sneak up on him. If he's startled, he might give a little growl or grumble to let you know he wasn't expecting company. But underneath it all, he's just a gentle old soul looking for a little patience, a little kindness, and one really comfy place to call home.

If your idea of the perfect pal is a little dude who enjoys quiet days, leisurely walks, and never wants you to sit alone on the couch, Ralphie has one opening left in his retirement community. 🏡❤️

Ralphie's adoption fee is $225. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and heartworm/flea/tick preventatives. Meet-and-greets will be scheduled with approved adopters.
