RIP-ROARING TO FIND A FOSTER TO ADOPT OR ADOPTIVE HOME!!!
Rip (~2-3 yrs, 34 lbs but underweight) is ready to find a FURever home! What we know about Rip so far:
He’s dog and people friendly, though he can get a little over-enthusiastic in play at times (not cat or kid tested, but we think older kids would be fine) Starting to pick up toys and LOVES treats Needs work on some house manners – will counter surf or jump on you though if you have a treat, he definitely understands the need to sit LOVES scratches but someone may have grabbed his collar too many times because he will duck and dodge Pretty house-trained, but don’t dilly-dally in the AM to let him out Will bark outside at unfamiliar noises like thunder (which he is not afraid of)
Apartment living – he needs a back yard AND a regular playmate to keep him busy Crates – he has had instances of serious(!) crate reactivity but oddly enough will go into a crate willingly to eat Needs some leash work – he pulls and tries to get to the other pups and walkersHe’s active but not crazy, will settle inside and sleep through the night, and is overall a nice pup who will make a great family pet for an active family.
