My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ripley is a sweet 8 yr old dog. She is my son's dog. They have a one yr old & are working full time so Ripley needs to find a home with more attention. She does well with other dogs(I have a golden and a pug mix) if introduced w/ adult supervision. She only met my dogs when she needed to come stay with us a few weeks ago until finding a new home. She has been gentle with my 2 year old granddaughter but tried to eat cheerios, etc out of the one year old's hands. She needs an owner who is comfortable being the alpha with her. She has been anxious in the past & had bad experiences at the vet but doing much better. She likes her crate. She is in it while I work full time during the day & when it is bed time at night. She loves to run and play and has even learned to share toys. She will snuggle & be mellow when you are & energetic when you are. She does like to bark when the UPS truck or a rabbit come to the driveway but if you say Shhh she stops. She loves to be scratched.
