About Ripley

Meet Ripley!! He is a gorgeous boy looking for an active, committed home where he can continue to learn and thrive.  He’s a friendly, affectionate boy with a fun-loving personality and is always ready for a game with his favourite toys.  He is full of energy and loves to play, so he will need an active family who can provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and ongoing training.  Like many young dogs, he can become a little mouthy and nippy when he’s excited, so he will benefit from patient guidance and positive reinforcement to help him learn appropriate manners.  He is still working on his basic commands and will need someone willing to continue his training.  He can also occasionally rag his lead, so further lead training will be important.  Previous experience with Shar-pei’s would be a real advantage, as they can have their own unique characteristics and training needs.  He currently has a cherry eye, which will be surgically repaired before he goes to his new home, so he’ll be ready to start his next chapter feeling his best.  If you’re looking for a playful, lively young dog and have to time and commitment to help him become the wonderful companion we know he can be, Ripley could be the boy for you. Ripley has socialised well with other dogs and is very playful with them.  He can sometimes get frustrated and bark if he can’t get to them straight away.  We feel he could potentially be rehomed with another playful dog of similar size following a successful meet and greet. No cats for Ripley. As Ripley came into the home as a stray we have no previous history on him and as he can be a little nippy when over-excited we would like any children in the home to be 16+ years. If you have a holiday booked in the next 3 months please wait until you return to apply for a dog. *Applications that are successful will be provided with further information on each dog to the best of the charity’s knowledge.
