My story

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

Grüner/Rippy has the most mushy personality you can imagine. If he had a car it would be covered with stickers like “Make love, not war”, “To know me is to love me”, “Give peace a chance”….and maybe “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing”. He is soft without being anxious. He is very easy to manage and generally easy to live with and he only keeps getting better as he matures.

Grüner/Rippy frequently goes with his foster mom to places that serve food and/or beverages and allow dogs.

Grüner/Rippy is great with other dogs. He is respectful and very good when meeting new dogs. At the dog park he was described by someone as the gentlest, calmest husky mix they had met in a long time. He loves to meet up with his buddies for play dates or have another fairly playful dog in the home.

Toys are a must for this youngster; he loves having things to carry around and/or chew on. He will play fetch now and again.

Grüner/Rippy is surprisingly good at not pulling on leash when out for walks. He has no problem walking on the Greenbelt or other place where he has to pass runners, scooters, other dogs etc.

Most of the time he does fine when hiking off leash with his foster family and stays with the pack though he still shows a bit of the husky independence regarding coming when called.

He rides well in a car.

He has lived with cats just fine.

Grüner/Rippy was one of the litter we named The Winos that we took in a little over a year ago. His adopters called him Rip which we have tweaked. Due to unforeseen circumstances the family had to rehome him. They had children and another dog and he was great with them all.

He was born June 23, 2022. He has Siberian husky, Alaskan malamute, German shepherd and more according to his siblings’ DNA tests.

Grüner/Rippy’s Achilles heel is being home alone though he has done great on his training of this and now does quite well. He would do great for someone working from home as he just lies around.

He seems to benefit from having a furry friend when home alone.

He is crate trained but gets claustrophobic when locked in it by himself. He does however happily sleep in a crate at night whether it is open or closed.

While Rippy is a young dog that needs regular activity he doesn’t need all that much exercise.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Since we are a foster based rescue and don’t have a shelter all meet and greets must be scheduled and walk-ins are not an option. We will travel throughout the Treasure Valley and surrounding areas/states if that means the dog will find their forever home! When we host adoption/community events we will always post them on our Facebook Page Northern Star Dog Rescue.

More about this rescue

We are Northern Star Dog Rescue, a completely foster based non profit dog rescue! We specifically pull all of our dogs from the euthanasia list (most are there due to no fault of their own) and dogs that are homeless or in bad housing conditions. We take them in and place them in foster homes until we can find them their forever homes! We do what we do because our team has a STRONG love for animals especially those that are in dire situations.
