More about Rip

Rip and his siblings found themselves unwanted and abandoned at a high kill shelter in West Texas. They are great with other dogs, and people, but cats are unknown. All dogs and puppies require supervision and training. Rip, Little Ripper, Rip-a-Dip, Ripstick, or Good Boy are all things you can call this gem of a puppy. Since arriving in MN on 11/15, Rip has seamlessly became part of his foster family. He is kennel trained, potty trained on a schedule, and working hard on his puppy manners. He is blossoming by the day and loves children (he is currently living with an 8 and 11 year old). His play style is floppy, bouncy, and curious. He loves all dogs and he has done very well with the spicy resident dog in his foster home. Cats are unknown. He is happiest on his bed with his Benebone. He loves to explore by putting his mouth on all the things, as puppies do, but redirects easily and is learning the rules quickly. This boy is treat motivated and ready to learn. He loves a good neck scratch, and is an excellent cuddle buddy. Rip is a pretty mellow dude and approaches most things with curiosity. He also loves to lean on you when he's thirsty for attention. As a seasoned foster family, we are finding him to be a very easy puppy; your family would be very lucky to be his forever.
