My father has just passed away.

Two years and two months later.

I had always promised him that I would make sure Ralph was well taken care of always.

Ralphy boy was his favorite.

For the last year I have had an arrangement with a NC rescue that promised to take Ralph when the time came. I was in ongoing contact and have the emails to prove it. I was told the longer that he could stay at home the better-just give the some advanced notice when it was time…

I called to give them a two week heads up and was told they would not take Ralph- he was too hard to place because of his age and being a Chow.

They backed out at the last minute.

 

Ralph deserves a chance- he has only done what was asked of him and never been bad in his life.

 

Some Ralph factoids:

·         Red chow mix - does not act like a Chow

·         10 years old (acts like 7 yrs)             

·         65 lb - in excellent health

·         Owner passed away

·         A real homebody- lived his whole life with one person, in one house with fenced acre and several other dogs

·  Other dogs: If there are other dogs he needs his space.. he was the alpha dog of a pack of 9 for a long time. Protective over his food with other dogs only so just needs feeding separately... no issues with people. He is in with 2 or 3 other dogs at present... does better with dogs that are smaller than him... great with little dogs. Humans can take a bone right out of his mouth no problem.

 

·  I have only seen him with kids 5 & older for brief amounts of time but he really loves the attention. If they get too loud he just goes off and finds a quiet place. He shows a great deal of concern if a child is crying- Ralph seems to have a maternal side.·         Loves milkbone biscuits, rawhide, and big beef bones

·         Very, very sweet boy - Very sensitive

·        very lovable - Loves affection

·         Housetrained- will come up to you and stare, then make noises and if then doesn’t work will paw you and start talking

·         Likes to be outside a lot during the day

·         Likes to be in at night- has his own bed, food/water bowls

·         Terrified of gunfire, thunder/lightening/fireworks wants to be inside close to you

·         Great watch dog
