Ripley is an incredibly smart and playful pup with a goofy side that’s sure to make you smile! He’s a medium-energy dog who loves walks, toys, and snuggling up with his favorite humans. Ripley is a Velcro dog and a true shadow—he’s happiest when he’s right by your side, soaking up all the love and attention you have to offer. And look at his gorgeous pittie smile!
Ripley is a pro at many commands such as sit, shake, down, stay, wait, speak, roll over, crawl, crate, and bed. His treat motivation and agility make training with him a joy and a great bonding experience. He also enjoys playing with other dogs, so he would do well in a home with or without canine companions. He also gets along well with little kids, though we haven’t had the chance to see him with cats yet.
Ripley’s early life as a stray in Indiana was challenging, which means he benefits from slow introductions to new people and dogs. He has made a lot of progress with this, and usually warms up to new people within 15 minutes of treat bribery! With patience and gradual trust-building, Ripley’s true, affectionate personality shines through. He’s a loyal and loving companion who thrives in a home where he can feel secure and cherished.
This sweet boy is fine with sleeping in his crate or on his dog bed, and wakes up only when his humans do in the morning! His day usually starts around 9am with a quick potty break and dry food for breakfast. Because we work from home, we have him switch between free roaming and crate time. When he's free roaming, he is either snoozing the day away or keeping himself busy with toys. Ripley is a pretty great walking/running buddy and is not reactive to people or dogs on the leash! A 20-30 minute walk in the evening and some play time with his toys is all he needs to let out some energy before dinner around 7pm and sleeping for the rest of the night.
With some treats, patience, and gentle guidance, Ripley will show you just how loving and wonderful he can be. If you’re looking for a snuggly buddy who will keep you company and make you laugh, Ripley is the perfect pup for you!
