Ralphie - Lhasa Apso and Terrier Dog for Adoption

Ralphie Rocks!! This 1-year-old Terrier/Lhasa Apso mix has so much love to give! While his story may have had a rough beginning, he is eager to love and is ready to receive it back tenfold (preferably with some treats included!).

Ralphie is an active boy, seeking out affection throughout the day and loves mental enrichment activities. He is incredibly food motivated and with the added intelligence, makes him a joy to train. He enjoys long scenic walks amongst bushes to read and leaves frequent pee-mails (housetrained before he even came into foster, because he rocks). And what a treat if he runs into another pup during it! He likely would love having a fellow fur sibling.

This dude loves food and trying all types of different flavors is incredibly exciting for him (except for bananas and blueberries for some reason). He loves to cuddle, get pets, and stare lovingly into your eyes. Your shoes or clothes may appear in front of you when he's not getting enough attention, so he'll let you know how he's feeling.

His foster home has been full of so much joy and laughter welcoming in Ralphie, so his future fur-family is in for a treat. He came to his foster home all matted, flea infested and with rough paws, so this guy deserves all the love and attention he is due and he will show you how well behaved he is, how willing to trust he is and how much love he has to share. Ralphie is being fostered in New York, NY and his adoption fee is $550.

"To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt

All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.

For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.

We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal."
