About Rip

Rip is a goofy, high-energy pup with lots of love to give! Despite a challenging start in life, including being born with a cleft palate and surviving parvovirus as a puppy, Rip doesn't let his past hold him back. He loves zooming around the yard, rolling in the grass, and giving the very best cuddles.

Rip is housebroken and knows basic commands. He is still working on his leash manners and experiences significant leash anxiety when other people or dogs pass by. He would benefit from a patient owner who is willing to continue working with him on training and helping him feel more comfortable during walks.

A home with a securely fenced yard would be ideal for Rip, giving him room to run, play, and burn off some of his energy. He would also benefit from a family with the time and dedication to continue building his confidence and training skills.

Rip is a loving, playful boy who has so much affection to share. He is looking for a home where he can enjoy life, receive plenty of cuddles, and continue learning with someone who believes in him.
