Adopt a rescue dog...Ralph
Ralph is a very active little lad with bundles of energy, and would appreciate a rural home


We're hoping that Ralph the terrier cross at Dogs Trust Basildon will bounce his way into your heart this year.
Ralph is a very active little lad with bundles of energy so would love to find a rural home with space for him to run around, explore and play.
A very intelligent boy, Ralph is picking up on his training at the centre nicely and is really enjoying it so it would be an advantage if he could find owners who have experience in training dogs.
An excellent addition to a household, he would need to be the only dog in an adult only home as he doesn't get on too well with other canines.
If Ralph has a place in your family, please call Dogs Trust Basildon on 01268 535050 or visit the website at www.dogstrust.org.uk
