Animal Shelter Seeks Loving Home for Ralphie, a Dog Nicknamed ‘Fire-Breathing Demon’

The Niagara SPCA

A New York animal shelter is looking for a Mother of Dragons type of human who isn’t afraid to tame a 26-lb dog. While this may sound contradictory, the Niagara SPCA’s Facebook post is claiming to be as straightforward as possible. “Ralphie is a fire-breathing demon,” they wrote. “If you show a moment of weakness, prepare to be exploited.”

The Animal Shelter’s Brutally Honest Adoption Post Emphasized Ralphie’s Undesirable Traits

The 26-lb dog was given up for adoption because he didn’t get along with his second family’s older dog. Also, the SPCA guessed that his first owners let him “be the boss,” which is a rookie but a common mistake among many dog owners.

He (Frenchie pug?) is absolutely adorable, there is no question about that. But it’s clear that the SPCA’s brutally honest adoption post is trying to throw everyone a bone here. The animal shelter truly wants to find Ralphie a home, but it needs to be the right home and with a very special person.

We’ve become pros at writing animal adoption posts. With the adorableness we encounter daily, we have tons of material. Sometimes we can sugar coat the less than desirable traits like- prefers to be an only child. This one stumps us though. We don’t actually have too many nice things to say so we’re just going to come out with it.

Meet Ralphie. At first glance, he’s an adorable highly sought after, young dog. People should be banging down our doors for him. We promise you, that won’t be the case. Ralphie is a terror in a somewhat small package. What could go wrong with a 26lb dog, right? We’re sure you’re thinking: my ankles will be just fine. We’d caution — proceed at your own risk.

The SPCA added that Ralphie either specifically needs a home without other animals or a Khaleesi-Esque human who will take “zero crap.” They also said that Ralphie’s previous dog trainer will provide training tools to the dragon doggie’s new owners.

“Serious inquiries only. No, we will not make exceptions. No takesy backsies (kidding, obviously). Give us a call at 716-731-4368 ext 301 if you’re that crazy,” the SPCA post concluded.

Everyone Seems to Want the Demon Dog

Despite the fact that it sounds like Ralphie might eat your entire closet and your fridge contents too, the adoption post was met with nearly 1,000 comments and the same number of shares.

“The honesty in here is magical,” read a comment. “I hope that if this was the write up for other breeds or mutts (like pitties) for example that weren’t such sought after dogs, people would be just as accepting, positive, aware of their limitations and understanding.”

“If he’s anything like my frenchie, he’s a drama Queen with a Napoleon complex,” said another.

“Hit the nail on the head!” the SPCA responded.

There were hundreds of people begging to create Ralphie’s new forever home. Fingers are crossed for the little bundle of demonic joy!
