Ralphie is a 4-5 year old male Cocker Spaniel who weighs in at 24 pounds. This dog's adoption fee is $650. If you are still interested, please read more below. Ralphie is a sweet and affectionate dog despite being very skittish. He loves his butt skritches and lots of pets. He enjoys playing with his doggie toys inside and tennis ball when he's done with the zoomies outside. Ralphie is looking for a patient human to help him adjust to the world. He is extremely skittish and runs & hides when exposed to new sounds, people, locations, and quick movements. He is very insecure and needs lots of positive attention. Ralphie is very bonded with his foster mom and follows her everywhere but still initially shows fear when she approaches him. He does show some resource guarding with toys and his foster mom, however he is slowly working through that. Ralphie is ok with other dogs if given time for a slow introduction. Ralphie is progressing with potty training, his diaper is dry during the night and randomly during the day. Leash manners are challenging because of his fear of new experiences and his insecurities, so a fenced in yard would be ideal to help him settle in. Ralphie is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations and will be neutered as of June 3rd. This dog's family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing.
