About Rip Courtesy Listing

Rip is a charming young pup, about 2 years old, with a playful spirit and a lot of love to give. Despite facing challenges like being born with a cleft palate and surviving parvovirus, he hasn't let his past define him. This Boxer/Pit Bull mix is filled with energy and enjoys zooming through the yard and rolling in the grass. Rip is housebroken and has mastered basic commands. However, he is still refining his leash skills and can experience anxiety when encountering other dogs or people. A patient owner who can help him work through this would be ideal. A fenced backyard would give him the space to play and burn off his energy while also helping him feel secure. He is neutered and his vaccinations are up to date, making him ready for a new home. Overall, Rip is looking for a loving family where he can thrive, receive generous cuddles, and continue his training.
