Ralphie - Is a foster Failure!!!
Ralphie is a 3 yr old neutered male. We believe he is a cockapoo. What we do know for sure is that Ralphie is one little bundle of cuteness. Ralphie’s foster parents fell for his charms and decided to adopt him. This happens a lot which is why we go through a lot of foster parents.
