Smart as a whip and full of playful mischief, Rip is a 2-month-old Australian Cattle Dog mix puppy that is ready to keep you smiling all day long! Rip was raised in foster care after coming to AFRP as a tiny 5-week-old stray. He is a typical happy, energetic and playful pup that loves to chew on toys and romp with his doggie friends. We are guessing he will weigh about 30 pounds as an adult dog. He has not had experience with cats. Herding breed puppies require an adopter with dog experience. Due to their tendency to “herd” whatever is at hand, an adult household or family with kids over age 10 would be best. Puppy obedience classes will be a requirement for Rip’s adopter. He’s looking for an active household that can provide plenty of daily exercise, mental stimulation, cuddles and belly rubs! If you would like Rip to join you for all of life’s adventures, please fill out an online dog application. Meet and greets can be arranged once your application has been approved.
