Ralphie

Cat-friendly <br/><br/>After years of hard work (doing, you know... all the things adorable little dogs do), Ralphie is thoroughly enjoying retirement.<br/><br/>Each day, his schedule is pretty packed: wake up , nap , follow his favorite human around , maybe take a walk , nap again , then off to bed before the evening news is over. <br/><br/>Ralphie is a handsome 10-year-old Chihuahua mix who weighs 16 pounds. He's not interested in toys anymore, but he's fully committed to the art of napping. Don't let his retirement lifestyle fool you, though. Clip on his leash and this guy suddenly becomes the swiftest retiree in town! His foster says he comes alive on walks, happily cruising along with surprising pep in his step.<br/><br/>One of the sweetest things about Ralphie is that he likes to drag his dog bed across the room so he can nap a little closer to his favorite person. Ralphie gets along well with other dogs and with cats, too! He's working hard on house training, sleeps in his own bed at night, and would love a home where his humans are home more often than not. He does have some separation anxiety and may bark quite a bit when left alone, so apartment life isn't for him. He'd also do best in a home without young, high-energy kids.<br/><br/>Ralphie has cataracts and is almost completely deaf, so it's important not to sneak up on him. If startled, he may give a little growl to let you know he wasn't expecting company. His hearing also means outdoor time needs a little extra care. Ralphie can't hear you call him back or approaching cars, so he'll need a secure wood or chain-link fence he can't squeeze through (or he needs to stay on leash whenever he's outside).<br/><br/>Underneath it all, he's just a gentle old soul who enjoys quiet days, leisurely walks, and never wants you to sit alone on the couch. Sound like your kinda guy? Ralphie has one opening left in his retirement community. <br/><br/>Ralphie's adoption fee is $225. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and heartworm/flea/tick preventatives. Meet-and-greets will be scheduled with approved adopters.<br/><br/> Apply to adopt at PawsitiveTailsKC.org
