Ripley - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Santa Clarita, California

Meet Ripley! This 2-year-old Pitbull/Heeler mix is a resilient survivor with a heart of gold. Originally rescued from an abandonment situation in Tennessee, Ripley has spent the last year in California learning what it means to be loved.

Ripley is the ultimate "peacekeeper." She is wonderfully social with other dogs and lives harmoniously with cats. While she likes to take a moment to assess new human friends, she warms up quickly into a wiggly, affectionate companion. She's playful, energetic, and ready for weekend adventures or backyard fetch sessions.

Why you'll love her:

• She's a resilient girl who has overcome a rough start.

• She is a rare "triple threat": Good with dogs, cats, and kids!

• She's the perfect medium-sized companion for an active household.

Ripley just needs a patient family to help her shyness fade so her true personality can shine. Is your home the final stop on her long journey?
