Hi there! I'm Jean-Ralphio Pupperstein, but you can call me Ralphie. I was out on my own before I landed a sweet spot with Unbreakabull. Now I'm staying in a foster home with luxurious beds, blankets, toys, and treats. Holy cow, I love it! I also have a furry foster sister I love to play with who has taught me how to do zoomies in the backyard and how to play tug-of-war. Tug-of-war is my favorite. I play with my foster mom, too, but she cheats and uses her hands on the rope toy instead of her mouth. Speaking of toys, I haven't seen one yet that I don't love. I love balls. I love sticks. I love ropes. I love stuffies. You name the toy, and I love it! I am pretty sure foster mom has never seen anything as cool as my stuffies, so I prance around the house with them in my mouth so she can always get a good look at them. I know she's super impressed. She's also really impressed when I fetch the balls and sticks and bring them right back to her.
In addition to toys, I also love treats. Oh, man! I will do pretty much anything for a treat. I learned to sit, shake, touch (where I boop foster mom's hand with my nose), and to do focusing eye contact work with foster mom. I really love her praise and pets almost as much as I love treats. She says I'm super smart and I kind of believe her because I learned all these tricks in no time. I'd love to keep learning new things at my forever home. I have a cool crate that I sleep in at night, and I like to hang out in there while foster mom is working. I'm happy to snuggle into the cozy bed. I go in there very nicely, especially if I know there is going to be a peanut butter kong or a pupsicle in there for me. Unlike my foster sister, I don't make a peep in my crate until I need to go outside. Then I ask politely to go out. Speaking of going out, I am really good at it and I don't have accidents in the house. I'll do my business in the yard or on walks with no problem. On my walks, I am getting very good at walking close to foster mom and following her lead. I used to pull a bit but I have a special harness that helps me get the message that we aren't in a rush. If I see a squirrel or bunny, I might try to go for them, but I'm getting really good at leaving them alone and continuing my walk when foster mom says "leave it."
When I first wake up in the morning, I'm always excited and happy. I'm just a happy kind of guy. I wag my tail really hard so everyone knows how happy I am. I might jump a little bit when I'm super excited, but I'm getting pretty good at learning not to do that. Until I'm an expert at keeping all four of my footies on the floor, I would probably do best with kids that are a little bit older. I'm super sweet to everyone, but I might accidentally knock over little kiddos when I'm saying hello to them. I've been told I'm super handsome, have gorgeously dark fur, the cutest floppy ears, and that my fur is really soft and luxurious. Foster mom loves to pet me and snuggle me because I'm so soft and cuddly. I can't get enough of her affection and attention. I give gentle kisses to let her know it. I hope my forever home has people who are going to love to pet and snuggle me! If I sound like a good fit for your home, please fill out an application. I can't wait to meet you!
