Ralphie

PUPPY ALERT!!! Meet Ralphie - one of Lucy's sweet puppies.  Ralphie was born in a shelter in South Carolina on Oct 26th, so he'll be ready for adoption on Dec 21.  While Ralphie's heritage is unknown, we believe that he'll be about 30# as an adult.  He has his mother's physique - long body and short legs. 

Ralphie has the biggest eyes.  He knows he is adorable!  He waits for someone to walk by, and then he sits to ask to be picked up.  He is often found playing with little stuffed toys. 

Before applying for a puppy, please carefully consider the following issues.  Will someone be home every 2-3 hours to let the puppy outside?  Our general rule of thumb is that if a dog needs to be crated more than 6 hours/day total, then that dog is the wrong one for the person's lifestyle.  Please consider Puppy Kindergarten classes.  More dogs under the age of 3 years are euthanized for behavior issues than for illnesses.  Puppies are expensive.  It can easily cost over $1500 to get the puppy all of its vet care (shots, spay/neuter, heartworm/flea tick preventatives), food, and other supplies.
