Oh — hi! Rip here.
I'm pretty sure someone mixed up my paperwork because I'm convinced I'm the luckiest goofball alive, and honestly I'd love to prove that every single day with you.
My notes say I'm a world-class cuddler, and I'd like that on the record.
I'm a youngster — a little goofy, very teachable, and absolutely ready to grow up beside someone wonderful.
I'm on the bigger side — which, if you ask me, is just more of me to hug.
I've been holding down the fort in Robbinsdale, hoping someone like you would wander by.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
With a little luck, Labor Day could be my first one in a real home — possibly with you, or with someone you send my way.
Thanks for stopping by and giving me a moment — it honestly made my whole day. — Rip

About Rip
Rip and his siblings found themselves unwanted and abandoned at a high kill shelter in West Texas. They are great with other dogs, and people, but cats are unknown. All dogs and puppies require supervision and training. Do you love goofy puppy antics and cuddles? How about a dog that is sometimes scared by his own bark? Maybe you need a constant shadow who is always up for snacks? Look no further than our sweet Rip. This boy has a happy go lucky attitude with just the right amount of chaos goblin. Rip is fully potty trained and doesn't mind his crate. He is always up for an adventure or a ride in the car, but settles in nicely when the fun is over. Rip will do well in any type of home and has been great with the children in his foster home (9 and 12 years old). He is working on his puppy manners but learns quickly especially when treats are involved. You would never know it, but Rip has a diagnosis of Discospondylitis, and is currently under treatment which involves medicine that he takes easily with his food. His treatment plan includes continued meds, but his prognosis for a long, healthy life is good! He will need to use a harness for walks due to this diagnosis so no additional pressure is put on his neck by using a collar. Rip loves other dogs and does well with his spicy foster sister. He has never met a stranger and has perfected the "Pittie Lean". Sticks don't stand a chance and stuffies are a favorite to destroy. His quirky, fun personality has us laughing daily. He currently weighs about 55 lbs, but believes he is a lap dog, so prepare yourself for the snuggles. He has mastered "Sit" and "Boop", and is coming along on the other basic commands. He settles in nicely and makes your house his home, always eager to be near his humans, but content to rest when needed. He really is that perfect mix of active and lazy; perfect for a busy family looking to add 4 paws.
