Rip

Rip is a ~1 year old, neutered, 40lb, champagne-colored heartthrob with light tan points and the most stunning gold eyes. He doesn't fit neatly into any purebred box, and honestly... that just makes him cooler. Rip is high energy but has learned to settle nicely. He's great with other dogs, though he can be a little annoying at times, he's submissive and means well. He would LOVE another dog friend (or several). He's very interested in cats but can be called off – dog-savvy cats would be best. Rip is good with kids (has been around ages 9–11). Rip originally went to a home where long work hours left him alone too much. With no midday break, he found his own “projects” and also spent time pestering a Great Pyrenees with health issues – not an ideal situation for either dog. He came to his trainer lacking strong human bonding and respect for correction, but in just one month, he's made huge progress. House training is solid, and obedience work is now beginning. Rip is a fun, affectionate, slightly mischievous young dog who just needed structure and guidance. He's ready for a home that will continue his training and give him the active, engaging life he deserves.

Training & Support

Rip is potty trained and crate trained. He is very food motivated, which makes him a training dream! He is not very vocal – may whine in the crate if he needs to potty or is having a little FOMO. He will counter surf if you aren't watching because he is very food motivated. His trainer is happy to incorporate training specific to your household's needs and offers free group class training for all fosters to help set everyone up for success.
