Hi, I’m Ralphie, and I’m ready for a new adventure, hopefully with you! I’m a six year old, six-pound male chihuahua looking for a home.
I was picked up as a stray in Illinois and Chihuahua Rescue and Transport sprung me from animal control–my lucky day! My unstable past has given me some anxiety though: I get nervous around strangers and I hate being separated from my people, although I’m never destructive. I also have a little trouble with exposing my private parts and will need help to keep them healthy.
Although I have trouble with strangers, once I get to know them, I love my humans completely! I especially enjoy snuggling with them and having them throw my toy ducky so I can show off my fetching skills. I get along with other small dogs too, as long as they’re calm.
With help from my foster mom, I am now potty trained!
I am neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. I do have an issue with one of my hind legs. X-rays have shown no damage and physical therapy helps.
I’ll need an experienced adopter who can help me with my stranger anxiety and who can stay home with me most of the time. I know I come with some challenges, but I promise I will more than make up for the extra work with my sweet snuggles and undying devotion! Will you give me a chance to prove it?
Ralphie’s adoption fee is $300. If you are interested in adopting Ralphie, please DO NOT SEND A MESSAGE TO OUR RESCUE GROUP. We are too busy placing dogs in great homes to answer messages and inquiries through the listing site.
