Meet Ripley!

Ripley is an approx 2 year old, 17 lb (she is thin and could gain a couple of pounds), Poodle/Cocker Spaniel mix (a DNA test has been performed) She originally came from the SF Animal Shelter and was picked up with several other similar looking dogs. Ripley is sweet, playful, potty trained and good on a walk. She is good with cats and other dogs but to set her up for success in her new home, she will need a home with adults only or children 13 years of age or older. She will need an owner who is committed to keeping up with her training and providing the structure, guidance and boundaries she needs to be the best dog she can be.

She is currently fostered with several other dogs and does fine because there is someone in charge around but she can have a pushy/hyper play style at times so if you do have another dog, a proper meet and greet will need to happen to make sure this is a good fit. She would be fine as a solo dog too and that is actually preferred.

The Cocker Spaniel is a beloved breed known for its distinct charm, intelligence, and affectionate nature.
