Ripley

Ripley, 2, is a staff and volunteer favorite who is looking for a soft place to land. He is a sweet, easy charmer and a quirky, lovable companion. When we first met him, Ripley was really shy. But he quickly assessed the situation and realized he was among friends and could relax with us. Since then, he's been a joyful guest who makes friends easily. Ripley has lived in a home and appears house trained and well-mannered. He knows his basic skills and will show them off in return for a tiny treat or two, which he receives like the proper gentleman he is. His best fit would be an active home, because he's young and fit and loves exercise. He would thrive with a couple of good walks every day, where he could get out and explore with you. Ripley came back to us with a few extra pounds of padding. But, he’s open to walks and hiking and whatever else you want to do, and we think he will easily get himself back in great shape once he’s getting regular exercise. He's very loyal and loves his human friends and caretakers at the shelter.
