Ralphie Adoption Pending Australian Shepherd Mix Chicago, IL

Please Note:
Ralphie is currently pending adoption.
It will be finalized in late March.
If you would like to be on the waitlist should it not be a good fit, please feel free to apply, but we do have a pending adoption.


Meet Ralphie — a sweet, goofy, and lovable 3-year-old Aussie mix ready for his forever home! Neutered, undocked, and full of charm, Ralphie has a fantastic temperament and gets along beautifully with dogs, cats, and kids alike. He would make a great companion dog for many dynamics.

He’s fully housebroken, has great leash manners, and has a solid recall. While he knows his basic commands (sit, shake, down, up), his playful, eager-to-learn personality makes him a wonderful candidate for continued training. Ralphie would thrive in an active home with someone familiar with the energetic Aussie breed.

Ralphie loves to play with toys, lounge on the couch, go for long walks, play fetch, run around a field, and snuggle - he is a big cuddle bug!
Despite a rough start, being rescued from Chicago Animal Care and Control’s e-list, Ralphie has waited patiently for a loving family for 1.5 years. His current foster family, experienced in working with herding breeds, describes him as one of the easiest and most delightful dogs they’ve ever cared for.

Ralphie’s ready to leave his past behind and share a life filled with joy, adventure, and unconditional love. Will you be the happy ending he deserves?
