About Ripley

Ripley is a charming cream-colored boy with cream-and-tan ears and a bit of adorable scruff. His easygoing personality makes him a delight to be around. At about 5 months old and already weighing around 50 pounds, Ripley is on track to be a larger dog, potentially reaching 60–75 pounds. His mama, Raven, seems to be a German Shepherd mix, possibly with Poodle or Terrier in her background. We think Ripley's dad may have had some Lab lineage too, as several of his siblings share that look, hinting at some Doodle traits as well. The exact mix is a mystery. Ripley exudes sweetness and kindness. He’s gentle, happy-go-lucky, and notably affectionate, often offering sweet kisses. His moderate energy level allows him to adapt to different activities, whether relaxing or being active. This pup has a gracious demeanor, making him a potential therapy dog candidate. He has thrived in foster care alongside dogs, cats, and children. Having completed all his veterinary care, Ripley is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on core vaccinations. He is ready for his forever home and has been cleared for adoption by his veterinarian, making him an ideal companion for families eager to welcome a furry friend. What are you waiting for?
