This little guy may be small in size, but he’s bursting with personality, energy, and love. After spending too much time in a crate before coming into rescue, Rip is finally getting to stretch his legs—and he’s loving every minute of it. While he’s not a fan of being crated (understandably!), he’s perfectly fine being left home alone without one. He’s working on his potty training and making great progress with consistency and patience. Rip thrives in the company of other dogs and adores his furry foster sibling. Whether he’s romping around the yard, showing off his adorable prance, or engaging in respectful play, Rip brings a contagious zest for life to every moment. He’s got great recall, learns quickly, and is a dream on a leash—walks are one of his favorite things! Though he hasn’t been kid-tested yet, Rip enjoys being around humans and is a total cuddle bug when it’s time to wind down. He’ll need gentle boundaries to help him learn when it’s time to chill, but his affectionate nature makes him a wonderful companion. If you’re looking for a smart, playful, and loving pup who’s ready to rocket into your heart, Rip might just be your perfect match. He’s small, spirited, and seriously sweet—come meet him and see why everyone’s falling for this little dynamo!
