Ribbit's Story
Well, hello! Don’t mind me, my voice is a little froggy from all this chilly weather! I’m a sweet and loving boy who is affectionate and endearing! I LOVE treats, gentle affection, exploring, and walks on leash! I’ll benefit from gentle people who can go slow with me, give me lots of fun enrichment, and help build up my confidence a bit. I can’t wait to be your couch, chair, or bed snuggle buddy! Visit me today!<br/><br/>Kids:<br/>6+, may be jumpy<br/><br/>Dogs:<br/>Unknown, recommend pre-adoption dog-dog introductions as needed, slow intros<br/><br/>More about Ribbit from his foster:<br/><br/>Ribbit's a sensitive little soul who's learning, step by step, that the world can be kind and people can be safe. Right now, he’s a bit of an anxious guy, but it comes from a place of wanting so badly to trust. And the best part? He is learning. Every day, he shows more courage, more curiosity, and more of his gentle, loving heart. Ribbit absolutely adores treats (the way to his heart!) and toys are his favorite thing ever. When he plays, it’s pure joy—he’ll toss his toys in the air, shake them with enthusiasm, and bounce around like the happy, carefree dog he’s meant to be. Watching him let his guard down, even for a moment, is something really special.<br/><br/>Underneath the nerves is an incredibly sweet, affectionate boy who just wants to feel safe and loved. He seems to really enjoy other dogs too—he lit up meeting a neighbor pup and would likely thrive with a confident dog friend to show him the ropes.<br/><br/>All Ribbit needs is a home with patient, understanding people -- people who'll continue to go at his pace, celebrate every win he has, and give him the time and love he's always deserved. If you have a gentle heart (and maybe a playful pup already at home to help him keep learning the ropes, this boy may be your perfect match!<br/><br/>WATCH MORE OR FOLLOW ALONG WITH RIBBIT ON INSTAGRAM @durhampaws<br/>https://www.instagram.com/durhampaws/<br/><br/>And a little more from one of his many volunteer fans:<br/><br/>Have you ever wanted a dog but just really like the aesthetic of a toad more? Maybe with a dash of potato body and some weird snorty pig noises? WELL HAVE I GOT THE MAN FOR YOU! Ribbit, the silliest of gooses and the hammiest of hams. 100% purebred hippo potato frog dog. The eyes? Unnerving. The coat color? Idaho Potato. The noises?<br/><br/>. And not to mention the spectacular way he manages to maintain his spudly physique while simultaneously being so bad at eating that literally half his food comes out of his glorious jowls when he crunches a cookie. Behold Sir Ribbit, King of Sploots<br/><br/>.
