A playful ball of energy is looking for his forever home from a centre near Ipswich.
Four-year-old Ralph is a Labrador Retriever and Border Collie Cross currently being cared for at Blue Cross Suffolk rehoming centre in Wherstead.
A spokeswoman for the charity said: "Ralph is an amazing character, he has a real zest for life and is the perfect combination of energy and trainability with a dog who happily switches off in the evenings for a snuggle next to you.
"He is an active dog who can struggle to control his excitement levels at times, which can lead to barking and over excitability around other dogs. Ralph loves his training - and cheese - and is learning to management this excitement well.
"Ralph is a clever lad. He very much enjoys spending time with his human friends so would like a home where his owners are around during the day and can build time left slowly once he's settled in."
The centre says Ralph can live with older teenagers in a home with no other dogs and would benefit from walks in low dog-populated areas.
He cannot live with cats as he finds chasing them fun.
