Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

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


This is so heartbreaking for us, but we need to find a new home for our mini poodle, Ralphie.

He is such a special dog and will take a special adopter for him to thrive.

We adopted him in 2018 (before children) and have since added 3 kids with another on the way. Ralphie is high anxiety and has epilepsy and is just not thriving in our loud, chaotic environment. He needs a quiet home without small children.

Ralphie loves to be pet and loves to sunbathe. He is skeptical of strangers that come to his home, but friendly with strangers in public.

Ralphie has some behavioral challenges that require an experienced, dedicated owner. He has been known to bite in the past when afraid. These triggers can be avoided but best for him not to be around small children for this reason.

Ralphie takes medication every 8 hours.

We truly love him and want him to live in the best possible environment for him with someone who has the time and resources to dedicate to his care and management.
