| Ralph |
Ralph (Lauren) is a content, well-balanced puppy. He came to Operation Kindness with bowed out legs, likely caused by malnutrition. Regular feeding and lots of love made him good as new. He walks a little goofy, but that only adds to his charm. He is a true comedian and will make you laugh all day. His foster mom says he is crate-trained, sleeps quietly all night and is 90 percent housebroken. Ralph plays well with other dogs, is very approachable, loves to hoard toys and play fetch. Ralph will do best with lots of chew toys, a dog buddy to romp with and a human to snuggle. He has been neutered, micorchipped, vaccinated and is on heartworm preventative. His Operation Kindness ID is59254.
