My story

Ralphie is a charming, almost 10-year-old Basset Hound/Beagle mix weighing in at a lovable 53.5 pounds. He's a trustworthy boy who can be loose in the house without having an accident.  His favorite place to sleep is in bed with his people. His hobbies include sniffing around the yard, going for walks, and enjoying car rids. This smartie knows "sit" and is very motivated by food and affection. Ralphie is great with people and other dogs, making him a wonderful companion in a multi-pet household. Although he hasn’t been around kids while in our care, Ralphie is wonderful with every kid he meets. He's happiest when he’s napping or enjoying a meal, as long as his loved ones are nearby. He's very loving, but not clingy. His foster mom shares: "Ralphie l ikes to curl up and watch TV or just be near the pack. He gets along with the three dogs in our house and goes equally to my husband or me. He’s dearly loved by our entire family, and we want nothing more than to find him the perfect forever family! And don’t let his sad hound eyes fool you, he’s very happy go-lucky!" If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will be your shadow and your best friend, Ralphie is the perfect match! His minimum adoption fee is $200 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
