Tahoe Tails — Adoptable Pets in South Lake Tahoe

Ralph

Ralph (aka Wreckit Ralph) is a young whippet mix who’s had a rough go of it so far. He’s only about 6 months old, but he’s already been in several shelters, through no fault of his own.

He’s a nice guy who barks in the kennel and makes you think he’s not friendly, but as soon as you bring out the leash he’s all wags and wiggles.

Ralph is an energetic puppy who deserves a nice home where he’ll get lots of exercise, attention and training.

Ralph is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. He is at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Meyers, along with many other dogs and cats who are waiting for their new homes.
