RIPLEY - CHIHUAHUA DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua. Ripley is a 13 year-old, sweet old man looking for a quiet, loving home to enjoy his golden years. He prefers a slow, predictable life filled with cozy naps, warm blankets, and calm companionship. Ripley is very attached to routine and thrives when life is peaceful. At home, he's very good about letting his family know when he needs to go outside. Ripley has been crate tested and while he didn't bark, he was extremely nervous during and after being crated, so he prefers a cozy couch. Walks aren't really his thing, but he loves meandering through the yard with his dog buddy. His favorite place in the world is on the couch next to his foster family's resident dog. He would love a resident dog buddy as that makes him feel comfortable and gives him confidence. A proper introduction would be advised with any future cat roommates. Yard time and mealtime are his absolute favorites. Just mention food and he becomes a little dance machine! Ripley rarely barks – unless he’s dreaming! That’s when he talks in his sleep, which is both hilarious and adorable, especially when he startles himself! Due to his skittish nature, he needs a quiet, kid-free home with a gentle pace. If you have a mellow household and a soft spot for seniors, Ripley might just be your perfect match!
