Ralphie's Story

Meet Ralphie, a Setter mix puppy born around 10/23/25. He’s already an expert in all things puppy: playing hard, loving big, and making people smile. This awesome little guy is super playful, and absolutely loves romping around with his siblings. He’s also doing great making friends with his foster dog siblings. Ralphie believes everyone is a potential new best friend. While he enjoys classic puppy toys, his true passion might surprise you… strings. Yes, like a kitten. If it dangles, Ralphie is all in. When he’s not busy playing, Ralphie can usually be found outside exploring every inch of it, following his nose and checking out all the exciting smells. A fenced-in yard would be a dream come true for this curious little explorer. Despite his playful side, Ralphie has a serious soft spot for snuggles. When the weather turns chilly, he transforms into a heat seeking missle, happily curling up in your arms and soaking up all the warmth and affection he can get. He also has a hilarious and heart-melting habit of booping noses. He’s quickly becoming a professional, and he takes his job very seriously. Because Ralphie is still very young, he’s looking for a family who is home often, and excited to help him with all the important puppy things: training, learning, and growing into the best boy he can be. He should weigh around 45 pounds when full grown. He is current on his vaccines. His adoption fee includes his future neuter and microchip. If you’re looking for a playful, snuggly, nose-booping puppy who will keep you laughing and steal your heart, Ralphie just might be your perfect match. To inquire about adoption, please email adopt@carolinapaws.com. Please note, we are not accepting applications outside of the greater Charlotte, NC area and immediate surrounding counties.

This date will be scheduled prior to adoption and will be stated on the adoption contract.
