Meet Ripken!
Ripken is a gentle Australian Shepherd with a heart full of love and a sweet, sensitive soul. Though a bit timid at first, once he warms up, he’ll be your most loyal shadow—always nearby, ready for cuddles and companionship.
 
This handsome boy is great with other dogs and absolutely wonderful with kids. He thrives on being close to his people and would love a calm, patient home where he can continue to build his confidence.
 
Ripken is treat-motivated and eager to learn—he’s working on "sit" and patiently waiting for his food. He goes into his kennel easily with a treat, sleeps soundly through the night, and is mostly house trained with just the occasional accident as he continues to learn. (Pee no poop)
 
Ripken's loving nature, soft eyes, and desire to be close make him a truly special companion. He’s ready to be your best friend and a cherished member of your family.
