Jan. 23 (UPI) -- An animal shelter in New York is seeking a home for a dog described as "a terror," "a fire-breathing demon" and a "whole jerk."

The Niagara SPCA said 26-pound Ralphie has been adopted twice, but was returned twice due to his bad behavior.

"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," the shelter said in a Facebook post.

The shelter said Ralphie's most recent owners took him home with the intention of training him.

"Two weeks into this new home and he was surrendered to us because [he] 'annoys our older dog.' What they actually meant was: Ralphie is a fire-breathing demon and will eat our dog," the post said.

"He's a whole jerk -- not even half. Everything belongs to him. If you dare test his ability to possess THE things, wrath will ensue. If you show a moment of weakness, prepare to be exploited," the shelter warned.

The SPCA said prospective owners who think they can handle training Ralphie should get in touch -- "if you're that crazy."

That’s quite an advertisement.

It will definitely attract some interest.

This is a ghetto mutt, his behavior is on par with the so called people he grew up around. Remember the 6 year old ‘person of color’ who shpt his teacher in the torso? Same same

He probably is. But some dogs have just been trained/treated very poorly and they need a firm hand to socialize them. Probably not a home with other pets for this one.

He is just standing up to oppression by the “White Man”. Da Man want him to attack the folk that want “property redistribution”. Why risk injury when he can just unlock the front door and take a nap.

The average dog is usually a better person.

I actually recognize that, but I cannot recall what movie it’s from.

Socializing of pups happens within the litter in the sixth and seventh week of their lives. It’s when they learn what passes for empathy in dogs. A lot of breeders sell dogs at 5 weeks, and it ruins the dogs for life. They’re a nightmare to train. It will never be socialized. It needs someone that will understand and tolerate its limitations in that area.
