Ralph (guest dog) - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Albany, New York

**WE ARE ALWAYS IN NEED OF FOSTER HOMES** Homeward Bound Dog Rescue is an all volunteer rescue organization and all our dogs and puppies are in foster homes - we are not a shelter and do NOT have a facility where we house our dogs. For adoption information go to: www.homewardbounddogrescue.com. You must fill out an application online as we do NOT accept applications at our clinics.

Meet Ralph - your Next Adventure Buddy!

Ralph is a loving, energetic dog looking for a new home where he can get the time, exercise, and attention he deserves. His family loves him dearly, but changes in their work schedules mean they can no longer give him the active lifestyle he thrives on. This decision has not been made lightly, and they're committed to finding him the perfect forever home.

About Ralph:

- Crate trained
- Potty trained
- Knows basic commands like sit and lay down
- Walks well on a leash
- Not reliable off leash, so a fenced yard or leash is recommended
- Friendly with other dogs and loves to run, wrestle, and play
- Does great at the dog park
- Has never been tested with cats
- Currently lives happily with children ages 4 and 6

Ralph is full of personality and energy! His favorite activities include playing fetch, tug-of-war, and romping around with other dogs. After a day of fun, he's more than happy to settle down for plenty of belly rubs and affection.

Ralph would do best with an active individual or family who enjoys spending time outdoors, playing, and making their dog a part of everyday life. Another playful dog would likely be a bonus, as Ralph truly enjoys canine companionship.

If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, and fun-loving companion who will happily join you on adventures and then soak up all the cuddles afterward, Ralph may be the perfect match.

If you think Ralph could be a great addition to your family, we'd love to hear from you. Our priority is finding him a safe, loving home where he'll continue to thrive.

Our adoption clinics are held one Saturday a month at our facility in Schenectady on John Street, located directly behind Boulevard Bowl (Erie Boulevard) from 10 am to 12 pm (directions are on our website). We require an approved application before we consider anyone for an adoption - so filling out the application is your first step. Once your application has been reviewed, you will receive an email invitation to attend an adoption event. Different dogs and puppies go up for adoption EVERY WEEK so please feel free to visit the site and click on the Petfinder link for updates as we are adopting dogs out in between adoption events. Puppies and dogs up to 2 years old are $395. Dogs over 2 years old are $295. 100% of the adoption fees go to help us save more dogs.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
