Ralph is a large love bug that wants to be near you. When he gets excited and wants to play, he can bark but his foster mom has been working hard and it has decreased! He loves the kitties too much and doesn’t understand why they won’t play, so no kitties please. He is a very good player and submissive with his dog foster sisters (med-large size) but dog parks are not okay. He enjoys walks but isn’t much into running around in the backyard unless you are out with him. He is more content to just play with his humans or foster sisters.  He loves toys, especially balls and can amuse himself. He loves everyone by wiggling his whole body but he loves you by leaning into you with his (not so small) body, so no small children. He very much picks up on the household's energy and does well when he knows the routine. He sleeps all night in his crate and does well in the crate during the day when his foster mom leaves for work. He does not chew on furniture and is housebroken!  He came to us with a front limp but X-rays show no issues, he is negative for Lyme disease and it doesn’t seem to slow him down. If you are looking for a large softy of a dog who will go on walks and lean into you for love, Ralph may be for you!
