Rip's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Rip and his siblings found themselves unwanted and abandoned at a high kill shelter in West Texas. They are great with other dogs, and people, but cats are unknown. All dogs and puppies require supervision and training.<br/>Do you love goofy puppy antics and cuddles? How about a dog that is sometimes scared by his own bark? Maybe you need a constant shadow who is always up for snacks?<br/>Look no further than our sweet Rip.<br/>This boy has a happy go lucky attitude with just the right amount of chaos goblin. Rip is fully potty trained and doesn't mind his crate. He is always up for an adventure or a ride in the car, but settles in nicely when the fun is over.<br/>Rip will do well in any type of home and has been great with the children in his foster home (9 and 12 years old). He is working on his puppy manners but learns quickly especially when treats are involved.<br/>You would never know it, but Rip has a diagnosis of Discospondylitis, and is currently under treatment which involves medicine that he takes easily with his food. His treatment plan includes an MRI (which Matty's is fundraising for) and continued meds, but his prognosis for a long, healthy life is good!<br/>Rip loves other dogs and does well with his spicy foster sister. He has never met a stranger and has perfected the 'Pittie Lean'. Sticks don't stand a chance and stuffies are a favorite to destroy. His quirky, fun personality has us laughing daily.<br/>He currently weighs about 55 lbs, but believes he is a lap dog, so prepare yourself for the snuggles. He has mastered 'Sit' and 'Boop', and is coming along on the other basic commands. He settles in nicely and makes your house his home, always eager to be near his humans, but content to rest when needed. He really is that perfect mix of active and lazy; perfect for a busy family looking to add 4 paws.<br/>If he sounds like what you are looking for, please apply online athttps://mattysheartandsoulanimalrescue.rescuegroups.org<br/>Rip will need to stay near the Twin Cities Metro area as he is undergoing treatment for an internal infection of a vertebrea disk space. We will update when we know more.

Matty's Heart & Soul Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy
Thank you for your interest in adopting a pet. Your desire to provide a loving forever home to a rescued animal helps us in our mission. When adopting a pet, you have the option of picking one from an animal shelter or a rescue organization. Both are good options, however, an animal rescue – like Matty's Heart & Soul Animal Rescue, is completely volunteer-run and as a charitable organization we are funded through donations. Our animals are in foster homes and we do everything we can to learn as much about their likes and dislikes, temperament and activity level as we can while in foster care. By doing so, it enables us to work more closely with potential adopters to do our best to help ensure a “good fit.” The adoption process might take a bit longer than adopting from a shelter or humane organization, but our goal is finding a match that benefits both the pet and the family interested in adopting. We place dogs and cats in loving, responsible, committed foster homes until the comprehensive adoption process is complete. The adoption process includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a new pet into their homes and lives. Our adoption process includes an application, vet reference, background check and a home visit. Pets in our care are spayed/neutered, micro-chipped, and are up to date on rabies, da2pp, distemper, bordatella, and are tested and treated for parasites/worms, heartworm (if over 6 months), and Feline Leukemia/ Feline HIV, as well as any other veterinary care that is needed. Adoption fees are as follows: Dogs under 3 years = $350 plus tax Dogs 3 years and over = $300 plus tax Cats under 3 years= $200 plus tax Cats 3yrs and over =$150 plus tax
