Ripley is a medium-energy pup who loves walks, toys, and snuggling up with his favorite humans. He's a Velcro dog who thrives on human companionship and is happiest when he's right by your side. He’s great with kids, enjoys playing with other dogs, and would do well in a home with or without canine companions.
Due to his history as a stray pup in Indiana, Ripley does need some slow introductions with new people to help him build trust, and he’s working on his separation anxiety. However, he’s made great strides with training, including crate training, and is highly motivated to continue improving. Once Ripley trusts you, he’s an affectionate and loyal companion who will make you feel loved every day.
