Hi my names Ralpie. I love to be petted.  I am very loyal and will follow you anywhere.  I grew up with Lassie and am a little sad since we do not live together now :-(   If you have room for both of us we can be adopted together for $300!
I would love a retired couple who would like to take me for walks and just cuddle with me on the couch.  I'm not really a big fan of being rowdy or playing with toys so I don't think children would find me to be much fun.
My foster mommy had to work on my coat and skin for the past 2 weeks because when my owner finally let the shelter come get me my fur was all matted and filthy so my skin couldn't breathe very well and I was getting sores.  My foster mommy worked hard and now my skin feels really good and I don't feel like I have to scratch and chew at myself anymore :-)
If you want to see what I look like with longer hair you can check out the picture of me before the groomer cut it off.  I can grow it back if you like me better that way as long as you promise to get me groomed every 6 weeks so I never have to have nasty skin and matted hair again!!!!
