Hi! I'm Ripper! I am a super friendly, slightly older puppy with a lot of energy and a love for people and other dogs. My foster mom doesn't know much about my life before, but my paperwork says I was abandoned without food and water in Kentucky. I am so lucky to be in Buffalo now and to be loved by my foster family. I have learned how to enjoy curling up on the couch in soft blankets and I have learned that when my foster mom leaves for work or Wegmans, I shouldn't be scared because she will be back home soon. I am probably not going to be much bigger than I am now, which makes me the perfect size! I sleep in my crate all night and while my foster family is at work and school and I keep it very clean. I am nearly potty trained, but still have occasional accidents in the house. I love to play with my foster sister and brother and I really love to go on walks. I am great on a leash. I am not sure how I feel about cats because I have never been around one. I love people of all ages, but I am a puppy, so I still like to chew on things that I shouldn't sometimes. I love to run around and would enjoy being with an active family. I love to give little kisses and I can't wait to share kisses with my new family.

The Australian Cattle Dog, also known as the Blue Heeler, is a hardworking and intelligent breed originally developed in Australia for herding cattle. Renowned for their endurance and agility, these medium sized dogs have a striking blue or red speckled coat and alert, curious expression. With a strong herding instinct and boundless energy, they require mental stimulation and physical activity to thrive. Blue Heelers are loyal, protective, and make excellent companions for active individuals or families willing to provide the engagement and exercise they need.
