About this Dog
This dog will be at the Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, July 12th from 12-3pm unless adopted prior to the event. To be considered for adoption, pls submit an application in advance. Adoption Fee: $700 Meet Ramekin! 5–6 months old | 42 lbs | Wheaten Terrier mix | Future Best Friend Ramekin was once labeled “too shy” and nearly lost his chance at life in a crowded shelter. But look at him now! This shaggy sweetheart is living his second chance to the fullest—brimming with puppy playfulness, curiosity, and an ever-growing confidence. A Day in the Life of Ramekin Ramekin starts his day with a morning stretch around 7 AM and a potty break or walk (he especially loves a good romp on the beach!). Breakfast is served at 8, followed by some playtime or a nap—depending on how hard he’s wrestled with his doggy foster sibling, a 55-lb Goldendoodle he adores. Throughout the day, Ramekin cycles between toy time, naps, and playing tag with his canine buddy while his foster parent works from home. Dinner’s at 6 PM, and bedtime snuggles happen in his cozy dog bed near the humans around 10 PM. His Personality Once reserved, Ramekin has blossomed into a goofy, affectionate, velcro pup who loves to be close to his people. He’ll climb in your lap when he needs a break from play or if you’ve been out of sight too long. Don’t even think about closing the bathroom door without him—he’ll be waiting (and maybe whining) just outside. Ramekin’s a Grade-A snuggler and always game for love and attention. Social Butterfly in Training Ramekin LOVES other dogs. He plays beautifully with dogs of all sizes—chasing, wrestling, tug-of-warring, you name it. He’s respectful with reactive pups and adapts quickly to new doggy friends. While he hasn’t met kids up close yet, he’s shown curiosity and friendliness from a distance. He did see a cat on a walk and was eager (maybe a bit too eager?) to get to him, so he may be too much for a home with cats (unless they are playful felines who love dogs!). Playful Pup Energy This guy’s still got that classic puppy zest. He’s playful, a little mischievous (don’t leave your shoes or books unattended!), and very into toys—especially things he can chew. He might still be teething and does give the occasional puppy nibble, but he responds well to gentle corrections. Outdoorsy types, rejoice: Ramekin loves walks, beach time, and would be a fantastic hiking buddy one day. Walks + Training Ramekin is learning the ropes of leash life. He’s still figuring out poles and tangled legs, and sometimes he carries the leash in his mouth like he’s walking you. But he rarely barks, doesn’t react negatively to other dogs, and has already come a long way with confidence walking across busy streets. He knows “sit,” has some recall, and is food-motivated— an ideal student with the right teacher. House Manners Ramekin has been working on his potty training and has now learned good doggy manners! He hasn't had an accident in weeks. What a good boy! Why Ramekin? Ramekin is the full package: sweet, snuggly, silly, and so, so special. He’s the kind of pup who watches dog grooming videos on YouTube and gets captivated by Planet Earth. He once barked at his own reflection in the window, then fell asleep like nothing happened. This little goofball has a big heart and is blossoming by the day. Whether you’re a single dog-lover, a couple with an adventure streak, or a family looking to add some joy and fluff to your life, Ramekin is ready to be your new favorite sidekick. Adopt Ramekin. Because sometimes the shyest dogs turn into the very best companions.

Adopt Ramekin and Receive Ramekin's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Ramekin's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Ramekin's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Ramekin, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Ramekin's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Ramekin was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Ramekin’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Ramekin’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Ramekin’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
