Ralph - Poodle Dog for Adoption in Greenbelt, Maryland

Itsy bitsy sweetie pie Ralph looks like a well-loved stuffed animal, smile and all! Ralph came to PAW as a stray who at eight-years old (or so) has clearly lived in a home as, according to his foster, he is very well behaved and even described as "perfect". He does not have accidents in the house and goes potty outside quite quickly. He loves to go on walks and gets super excited to do so. He doesn't need a house with a yard, but a person who is willing to walk him.

Ralph doesn't mind cats at all, in fact his foster has four resident cats and three kittens, of whom Ralph is very respectful. (At only ten lbs, he is likely the same size!) Despite multiple beds in his foster's home, his favorite spot is next to her, and although Ralph loves being with people, he has been left at home for up to three hours without any issues.

Ralph has overcome some health issues, but his prognosis is great and with a loving person by his side, he will continue to thrive! He would be perfect for someone living in a smaller home and/or for an older person who wants a adoring companion.

PAW adopts in the MD, northern VA, DC, and northern PA region.
