Story
Meet Rebel! Rebel is a sweet, playful young Pointer/Terrier mix who is learning all about the good life after a tough start. He and his brother, Rip,( also for adoption ) were found roaming in the woods after apparently being on their own for more than 10 days. Now, they’re discovering just how wonderful it is to have a warm home, regular meals, soft beds, and people to love!Rebel is a happy, outgoing affectionate boy who enjoys playing with other dogs. He absolutely loves kids and would enjoy having canine or human playmates in his new home. He rides nicely in the car and does okay in his crate for a few hours at a time.Since everything about indoor life is still new to Rebel, he is continuing to learn his leash skills and house manners. His foster family has been working with him, and he is making great progress and is also gaining confidence.. He would do best with a family willing to continue his training and give him plenty of patience, playtime, and companionship.This loving boy has so much potential and is ready to trade his days of roaming for a family of his own. With a little guidance and a lot of love, Rebel is sure to become an amazing companion!All known information about the animal is listed above.

Story
Meet Rip — A Sweet Boy Learning What It Means to Be Home.Rip is a handsome shy Pointer/Terrier mix with a gentle heart and so much love to give. After spending time roaming with his brother, Rebel (also available for adoption) Rip is discovering just how wonderful life can be in a safe, loving home.A little shy at first, Rip is coming out of his shell more every day as he learns that people can be trusted. He is submissive with and absolutely loves playing with other dogs and has done wonderfully with the dogs in his foster home. He is a big fan of the foster’s grandchild. Kids, dogs, and playtime? Rip is in!Rip is learning to walk on a leash and is making progress with house training, although he still has an occasional accident. Rip is such a good boy in the car, sitting quietly in his seat and enjoying the ride without bouncing around. Unfortunately, this sweet boy does tend to get carsick, possibly due to nerves. The good news is that with a little anti-nausea medication before a recent trip to the vet, he did wonderfully!Rip also does well in his crate when given regular potty breaks. He would be happiest in a home where someone is around more often and can provide him with a consistent routine and plenty of opportunities to go outside. After everything he has been through, Rip is simply learning the basics of being a house dog—and he’s doing his best. He is a dear boy who would love a patient family who will continue teaching him and give him time to build confidence. A home with another playful dog or children could be a wonderful fit for this sweet, playful boy.Rip has already learned that being safe feels good. Now he just needs someone to show him how amazing it can be to have a family.All known information about the animal is listed above.
