German Shorthaired Pointer and Pointer Dogs Available for Adoption in Cedar Mountain, North Carolina

Meet Rip — the sweetest cowboy you’ll ever know! Named after the tough ranch hand from Yellowstone, Rip may share the loyalty and devotion of his namesake, but this boy is all heart and zero hard edges. He’s affectionate, forgiving, and happiest when he’s close to his people.

At just 5 months old, Rip is a handsome Pointer Mix with one of the most unforgettable faces around — his unique brown-and-white spotted markings make it impossible not to do a double take! Beyond his good looks, Rip is a smart pup who is already learning basic commands, improving his leash manners, and working hard on crate training.

Rip is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, and now all he’s missing is a forever family to call his own. Whether you’re looking for a hiking buddy, cuddle companion, or loyal best friend, Rip is ready to grow up right by your side.
