Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Ralphie is the kind of dog who makes you want to be a better person… He came to us with a horribly split lip from likely a terrible

trauma, a cracked k9 tooth that needed to be removed, lumps, bumps, open sores, almost no teeth (and those that he has are ground down to almost nothing) , skin infections, double ear infections, not neutered...the list just kept going. We had him to the vet the very next day where he began a 4 week course of antibiotics, treatment for his ear infections, medicated bathes, supplements, and good nutrition. He’s now neutered and had oral surgery (his lip was not successfully repairable as the stitches rip as soon as he shakes his head). We’ve heard that Ralphie was kept in a warehouse in Rochester and was believed to be a bait dog…. He SHOULD hate everyone, he should hate other dogs, he should be fearful, he should be distrustful of humans, he should…the list could go on and on. People who meet him have said they feel honored to know him and that he could certainly teach us some valuable lessons…. He loves with his entire soul and you can see the trust in his eyes when he greets you. Trust he really shouldn't have, but does. We believe he's about 6-8 years old and he's so deserving of a loving home where his tail can wag freely (it never stops wagging), he can be cuddled, and he can get all the butt scratches he wants (he happily gives you his butt upon meeting you)! Ralphie is house trained and great in his crate. His lip and lack of teeth dont slow him down- hard food, treats, a pupa-chino, he has no problem! He’s dog friendly (he’s fostered with 5 other large dogs), and his bestie is a younger, higher energy female dog who he loves to wrestle and canoodle…his foster family did not expect her to be his bestie! Although he loves other dogs (and you can often find him cuddling in bed with other dogs), we think he’d be equally happy to cuddle in bed with his humans as an only dog.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
