About Mr Ripley

Meet Mr Ripley, a 4.5-year-old Black Mouth Cur mix who weighs around 55 pounds. Ripley is an exceptionally sweet soul; he may be timid at first, but with a little patience, he quickly reveals his affectionate and loyal nature. His energy level is low to medium. Rip enjoys playful bursts where he runs with his dog friends but also loves lounging on a comfy bed or snuggling beside you. He does well with other dogs and older children, though he has limited experience with younger ones. Best not to have cats around, as he does tend to chase them, although he's never caused any harm. Ripley's journey hasn’t been easy. Chained outside for the first four years of his life, he was left behind when his owners moved away. He carries a scar on his back leg from an old injury, a testament to his past, yet he still chooses to trust and love. This remarkable spirit deserves a home filled with comfort and security. Now housebroken, crate trained, neutered, and up-to-date on vaccinations, Ripley has escaped his crate occasionally but has never been destructive. He enjoys treats, people time, and car rides as he learns they can be fun. If you're seeking a gentle friend with a heart of gold, Ripley might just be your perfect match.
