Australian Shepherd / Mixed : : Male : : Adult : : Medium
PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.
4.29.11 Poor Ralphie. He was in a kill shelter and a young couple adopted him and took him home. However, after having him for a couple of weeks, they decided that he is "too whiney" when they can't give him their full attention. I believe Ralphie has some mild seperation anxiety, but I think it is something that can be overcome. He is a bit older, probably about 4 or 5 years old. He is loving and sweet, and he still likes to play. He loves playing with rocks! Ralphie does fine with female dogs, but does not do so great with other male dogs - he wants to be the boss. Although, I believe in a home with only one other dog, he would be fine. He doesn't do well in my kennel, where there are many other dogs, but when I bring up to my house, he does fine with my male dogs. Anyway, Ralphie needs a home where someone can give him the attention he longs for. I think he would be fine in a home with working parents, but I would recommend crating him when away, in case his anxiety manifests into destructive behavior. If you can get past his anxiety issues, he will make a wonderful, loyal, and devoted companion. For more info, email kelley@adoptastrayrescue.com.
