My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Ralphie!

Hello, my name is Ralphie, a seasoned golden oldie who's more than just a pretty face – I've got a heart of gold and maybe a bit of chicken crumbs stuck to my whiskers. At a svelte 14 pounds, I'm the perfect blend of sophistication and snack enthusiast. With my tan coat and wire hair, I'm basically a canine fashion icon – move over, Paris Fashion Week.

Despite my heart murmur (I take some meds every day for that issue), my heart is set on one thing: snuggles. I'm a professional cuddler with a side hustle in short walks and a love for chicken snacks that rivals the most devoted foodies. House-trained like a four-legged Einstein, my only demand is "no kennels, please" – I've got a reputation to uphold as the king of cozy naps, and kennels are not a part of that. I'll need to take some anxiety meds when I first arrive until I get settled a bit. Social butterfly alert: I'm not just good with other dogs; I'm also a hit at kiddie parties, making me the ultimate fur-mily addition.

Adopt me! Because who needs a personal trainer when you can have a super senior Dachshund to keep your heart happy and your snack game strong? I'm ready to strut my stuff right into your heart and home!
