Ralph and Ace – Blue Jay Point Park

Ralph and Ace sure do look like brothers, but they are brothers from another mother!  These two plott hounds now have a very loving home, but it took a while to find it.

Liz and Matt lost their previous dog (adopted from the SPCA of Wake County) in 2014.  They were specifically looking to find a dog that had a hard time getting adopted.  They found Ralph at a rescue in Virginia and Ace who was with a rescue in Asheville.  Ralph had been waiting for more than five years, since he was just four months old.  He had some behavior issues and needed someone who would give him the patience, time, training and attention he needed.  Liz was just the person!  She and Matt adopted Ralph first and spent several months helping him get settled.  Six months later, Ace was still available for adoption and they welcomed him to the family too!

Ace may be the older of the two at eight years old, but acts like a puppy!  Ace went crazy over his flower squeaky toy and had me cracking up the entire time.

Ralph is the strong, silent type.  He can be weary of strangers, but was the ultimate gentleman during our shoot.  We played around the open field at Blue Jay Point County Park and ended with a walk by Falls Lake.

Mom Liz is a volunteer with the SPCA.  I know these two pups are so grateful that she took a chance on them and they are now all living happily ever after!
