Story

Before her rescue, Ripley was a devoted mom to a litter of puppies. Now, it’s finally her turn to be pampered and spoiled. She loves people and greets everyone with tail wags and enthusiasm—sometimes a little too much excitement, but with some gentle reminders, she’s quick to learn. Ripley is a spirited, high-energy 3-year-old who’s ready to find a forever home that matches her zest for life! This athletic girl lives for movement—she loves to run, play, and will gleefully destroy any toy that crosses her path. She’s fantastic with other dogs and adores children, making her a great match for an active family with kids or playful pups. Ripley thrives in a home that’s always on the go—whether it’s hikes, runs, or backyard zoomies, she’s all in. A quiet, laid-back lifestyle just isn’t her thing; she’s looking for a household that’s as energetic as she is. Ripley is crate trained, housebroken, and knows basic commands like “sit.” She’s also super smart and very treat-motivated, so training is a breeze with the right snacks and consistency. Important note: Ripley cannot be in a home with cats or small animals. She has a strong prey drive and takes her “squirrel patrol” duties very seriously—your yard will be rodent-free! If your home is filled with energy, love, and adventure, Ripley just might be your perfect match. Ready to make her part of your pack? ##2223382##

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Zara joined our family at 8 weeks old after we adopted her from our local APL, where she was already spayed. At the time, my job allowed me to bring her to work with me, so she grew up very well socialized and comfortable around people from a young age. She has always been surrounded by family and companionship. Zara is a German Shepherd/Australian Cattle Dog mix—smart, loyal, and high energy. She loves being around her people and does best with structure and purpose. She has lived with cats and has never been aggressive toward them, though her herding instincts do cause her to chase and fixate on them at times. Zara is the only dog in our home but has done well with other dogs in the past. She previously spent time around multiple dogs and generally got along well, though she does best with calm, structured dogs and proper introductions. She loves walks, activity, and having a job. Zara was trained through Sit Means Sit and knows commands as heel, sit, wait, paw, roll over, and go.
