About Rip

Rip, a striking 60-pound, 4-year-old Standard Poodle, is looking for a new home after his owner moved in with family. This loyal dog thrives on companionship and should not be left alone; he enjoys the company of other dogs and cats, making him adaptable in a multi-pet household. He loves walks, car rides, and splashing in water, having been raised in Galveston where he developed a passion for beach runs. Energy levels are high; he’ll need a spacious yard or plenty of outings — no apartments, please! Rip is quite intelligent and knows commands like sit, heel, place, and stay, and he is fully house trained. He also appreciates grooming sessions and needs an experienced owner who understands the nuances of his breed. Given his history, he may not tolerate rough handling and has a strong personality, so he’ll bloom in a calm environment with a compatible female dog. This loving boy is ready for a dedicated human to involve him in daily activities. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
