  — David E.

  — Bethany W.

• “I’m a good ball and my mom’s most obedient/best listener. I’m pretty much obsessed with my mom so.“

  — Carly B.

• “Im a goofy guy once you get to know me. Not a fan of strangers on my property, but once mom and dad give the stamp of approval I love an endless game of fetch. Frisbees, tires, balls, sticks you name it I’ll fetch it.“

  — Stephanie M.

• “Hi I’m Rip! I’m an energetic guy with some big feelings. I have had some bad experiences with other dogs and people, so I like safe spaces to run off leash. I’m friendly, but it can take me some time to warm up. If you’d like to meet me, ask my mom and we can make it happen! I’m a well behaved, trained, show dog and I like to show off. I’m a good helper dog for dogs who are scared, so you may see one of my foster siblings with me. I love liver treats, cheese, and playing in water or with the hose. Thanks for letting us use your space!“

  — Kali G.

• “Hi my name is Rip and I am looking for a place to run free off leash and play in the water.“

  — Debbie E.

• “Rip is a extra large goofy boy, he is a Cane Corso but that is not listed in the options“

  — Cris S.

• “Young lab puppy who is a pheasant hunter! Loves people and dogs alike. A very friendly guy!“

  — Lauren O.

• “I’m my own man and am working on being a recluse. I’m not fond of other dogs but do like people if my mom likes them“

  — Brandy G.

• “Rip is not reactive at all! He LOVES little dogs and respects their boundaries super well. He is very quiet and gentle with them. When it comes to larger breeds where the weight difference isn’t so big, he turns into a big kid! He loves to wrestle, be chased, chase after his friends, etc.“

  — Katie W.

• “My name is Rip, my mom calls me Rippy. My job is too keep mom safe! I’m a sweet boy but sometimes I can be scared of other people and big dogs so I will bark at them but my mom always tell me to mind my business! I love walks but I get tired really quickly because I’m lazy and love my treats! Xoxo rippy 🐾“

  — Aaliyah L.

• “Rip is a very intelligent Pembroke Welsh Corgi/ Australian Shepherd mix. He had a rough start to life and was very ill during the pandemic. He didn't have the opportunity to interact with friendly dogs in his early stages of development and is reactive. I am constantly training and working on building a confidence in him. He needs a large space to run and explore that he will not be startled by a strange dog.“

  — Kacey V.

• “I’m a little guy scared of all big things and scared when other dogs approach me so fast at regular dog parks. I like pets and to run around with my sister“

  — Jackeline R.

• “I love long naps with mom, treats, chewing up my toys, and looking out my window next to my bed. There are days I enjoy playing on the trampoline with my tiny human and my doggie brother Rocko, and car rides through drive-thrus to get pup cups. I don't enjoy walks there are to many load noises, the vacuum cleaner is my enemy.“

  — Victoria L.

• “I’m the cutest shepherd/heeler mix. I’m a little fearful when I first meet people, but I open up after a few minutes. I love to wear sweaters, and my mom is more than happy to put them on me, because I really am cute in them! I do like to roll around out in the wet/muddy areas, so I sometimes get my sweater messed up. But it magically gets clean when mom puts it in the loud machine!“

  — Wendy E.
