About Ripley

Meet Ripley! This charming Lab mix, at just 2 years old, is ready to become your adventure buddy and cozy couch companion. Weighing in at a lean 60 lbs., Ripley is quite the head-turner, sporting a heart-shaped marking on his forehead to win you over instantly. Ripley is housebroken and crate trained, with a friendly demeanor that makes him a hit in doggy daycare. He loves meeting new friends and currently enjoys the company of other dogs. Whether you're up for a hike or a relaxed movie night, he's equally ready for both activities. While he's eager to please and learns quickly, Ripley does exhibit some protective instincts over his favorite toys. His enthusiastic personality shines through, especially when he greets you, often forgetting to keep all four paws on the ground. This playful energy means he'd thrive with an adopter who can provide guidance through consistent, positive training. Ripley’s lively energy suggests that a home with older, dog-savvy children would be the best fit. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, plus he's on preventative treatments. Ready to let Ripley steal your heart? He’s prepared to embark on this new journey with you!
