Here's what the humans have to say about me:
"*****RIPLEY'S STORY*****( believe it!)
IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WERE ENJOYING ONE OF THE LARGEST ART'S AND CRAFT FAIR OF THE YEAR. EVERYONE WAS HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME EXCEPT FOR RIPLEY, THE 3- 4 YEAR OLD, 25 LB. JACK RUSSELL TERRIER MIX PUP. RIPLEY WAS ABANDONED !!! HE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE FRANTICALLY TRYING TO FIND A WAY OUT, BUT TRY AS HE MIGHT THIS WASN'T TO BE THE CASE.. MANY NOTICED THE LITTLE GUY AND SEVERAL GOOD SAMARITANS DID TRY TO HELP HIM BUT EVERY TIME THEY WOULD GET CLOSE RIPLEY WOULD RUN!!!! HE WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED!!!! AS FATE WOULD HAVE IT ONE OF OUR RESCUERS, WHO IS ALSO A PROFESSIONAL TRAINER, WAS AT THE FAIR AND SHE TOO TOOK NOTICE OF RIPLEY'S PLIGHT. UNDERSTANDING HOW SCARED HE WAS SHE KNEW HE WOULD NEVER COME TO A STRANGER. SHE TRIED A DIFFERENT APPROACH. INSTEAD OF RUNNING UP TO HIM, CALLING TO HIM AND TRYING TO CATCH HIM SHE SAT DOWN ON THE GROUND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FAIR, NEAR RIPLEY AND JUST STARTED TALKING SOFTLY TO HIM. SHE FINALLY AT ONE POINT EVEN LAID DOWN SO THE LITTLE PUP WOULDN'T BE AS FEARFUL. IN "HORSE WHISPERER" MODE SHE JUST BEGIN TO TALK TO HIM SOFTLY AND SLOWLY. AT FIRST THERE WAS LITTLE REACTION BUT RIPLEY WAS LOOKING AND ALSO LISTENING. THIS WENT ON FOR WAY OVER 30 MINUTES BUT SOMEHOW RIPLEY KNEW THAT SHE WAS THERE TO HELP--THAT SHE WOULDN'T HURT HIM, THEY DO KNOW!!!! HE WALKED CLOSER AND CLOSER AND SLOWLY CAME TO HER. FINALLY AFTER WHAT SEEMED LIKE FOREVER FOR THE WOMAN SITTING ON THE GROUND IN THE MIDDLE OF A FAIRGROUND, RIPLEY WALKED RIGHT TO HER, EYES TRUSTING AND SNUGGLED IN AS IF TO SAY, "I KNOW YOU ARE HERE TO HELP ME". RIPLEY BECAME SAFE IN OUR RESCUE AND READY TO LET US BEGIN THE SEARCH TO FIND HIM A NEW HOME!!! READY TO BEGIN HIS NEW LIFE!!!
RIPLEY WOULD ADORE A FAMILY WHERE THERE IS NO CHAOS. WHERE EACH DAY INVOLVES HEALTHY WALKS, EXPLORING AND GETTING TO KNOW AND TRUST EVERYTHING AGAIN., SWEET WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT AND A WARM BED TO SNUGGLE INTO EACH NIGHT. THIS SWEET DOG WITH THE MELT YOUR HEART EYES WILL BE THE VERY BEST COMPANION AND FRIEND IMAGINABLE.!
RIPLEY IS CURRENT ON ALL VACCINATIONS, INCLUDING BORDATELLA AND RABIES. HE IS HEARTWORM NEGATIVE, ON PREVENTATIVE, DEWORMED AND ON FRONTLINE PLUS. HE IS LOCATED IN THE SOUTH AND WILL ARRIVE IN THE NEW ENGLAND AREA ON A PET TRANSPORT WHEN ADOPTED. HIS ADOPTION FEE IS $395 AND THIS INCLUDED THE TRANSPORT FEE.
