Ralphie
Age: 12 Years
Breed: Terrier
Size: Small
Gender: Male

Meet Ralphie!

Little Ralphie came into our care when he was abandoned. A very cute-looking 12 year old Terrier, he had lived with his previous owner since he was a puppy, so he was understandably bewildered to find himself in kennels. 

Ralphie is an interesting character to say the least; in fact he is a bit of a grumpy old man! He loves the company of people and he adores going out for walks, but everything has to be on his terms.

He likes a back scratch and will sit on his hind legs for a treat, but he is not keen on being touched on the head and he can be bad tempered if he is woken up. A quiet, compassionate home where he will have plenty of space to “just be” is essential. He doesn’t ask for much, just needs a comfy bed in a warm house and a little walk every day. We are looking for a pet and child-free home for our special lad.

Can you offer Ralphie a loving retirement home? Please get in touch!

ADOPTION PROCESS

 

We have a number of animals in our care. Most are homeless through no fault of their own and are looking for furever homes and owners who can give them the love and attention they deserve.

 

Please take a few moments to familiarise yourself with our adoption process:

 

Step 1:     

The animal is admitted into our care, and assessed by our team.

Step 2:     

The animal is examined by a vet, who treats any ailments or injuries.

Step 3:     

The appropriate team leader will liaise with the potential adopter to get to know them and assess whether they are a potential purr-fect match.

Step 4:     

The potential new owners meet the animal, and decide if they want to adopt. New owners may be asked to visit the animal several times before the adoption takes place.

Step 5:     

A pre-adoption home visit will then be made to new owners home to meet the members of the household and to ensure that the environment is safe.

Step 6:     

If the visit goes well, you will be asked to collect the animal and to make an adoption donation (amount on request) as well as to sign an agreement to care for the pet with a commitment to return them to us if you can't continue to do so.
