Meet Ralph Rescued Summer 2005

My name is Ralph.  I got lost last summer and ended up in a shelter in Wichita, Kansas.  The shelter people noticed that I looked like I was part Affenpinscher and contacted Affenpinscher Rescue.  After a few long car rides that were really fun, I came to live with my foster family near Chicago.  I have a foster brother named Otto that I love to wrestle and play with.  I have a big yard with lots of squirrels to chase.  I can almost get them, but then they go over the fence and I have to stop.  One day I'll get one though-I am sure of it. 

My foster mom says I am very gentle and mellow.  I really like to meet people and wag my tail when they talk to me.  I like all the other dogs in my neighborhood too.  I am very quiet and do not really like to bark very much.  My foster family has a cat.  She seems very snippy so I just ignore her.  I love to sit by my foster mom and sleep in her bed with Otto.  I also love to go for walks on my leash.  I love to sit up.  I can sit up tall and look out the patio door or out the front of the car.  I also like to sit up when I want to go out or I want to have some of the yummy things my family is eating.  I would love a forever family to love and snuggle.

Ralph is about 2 years old.  He is very well socialized and gets along with everyone-people and animals. Ralph is perfectly house trained and knows basic commands.  We think he is a mix of Affenpinscher and perhaps Lhasa Apso as his coat is longer and silkier than an Affen.  Because he is a mix, the adoption fee has been reduced to $200.  He is heartworm negative, neutered and up to date on all his shots. 

Update: 2/2006 Ralph has been adopted!!
