About Ripley

Ripley is a spirited, high-energy pup who spent her early days as a devoted mom to her puppies before finding her way to rescue. Now it's her time to be pampered! With a contagious enthusiasm, she greets everyone with joyful tail wags and excitement. While she can get a bit too energetic at times, she's quick to learn with gentle reminders. At nearly 5 years old, Ripley is ready for a forever home that matches her zest for life. This athletic girl thrives on movement—she enjoys running, playing, and will gleefully demolish any toy in her vicinity. She's a great fit for families with kids or other playful dogs, as she gets along famously with them. However, Ripley cannot be in a home with cats or small animals due to her strong prey drive; she takes her “squirrel patrol” duties very seriously. Ripley is crate trained, housebroken, and knows basic commands like “sit.” Her intelligence and treat motivation make training a joyful experience, especially with the right encouragement. If your home is full of love, energy, and adventure, Ripley could be the perfect addition to your family. Ready to welcome her into your pack?
