Rip Wheeler

🐾Meet Rip Wheeler!🐾<br/><br/>Rip Wheeler is a 7 year old Belgian Malinois/Shepherd mix with a big heart and an even bigger personality. After spending 5 years waiting patiently at the shelter, Rip is more than ready to find his forever family and home.<br/><br/>Weighing in at about 90lbs, Rip is a strong, intelligent, and incredibly loyal companion. He thrives on connection with his people and will happily soak up all the affection you’re willing to give. Whether it’s belly rubs, butt scratches, or just being by your side. If you’re looking for a dog who truly bonds with you, Rip could be your dog!<br/><br/>He’s highly food motivated and eager to please. Rip knows several commands like sit, touch, down, and paw, and he’s always excited to keep learning. He has excellent leash manners and walks are a favorite activity. He’s often described as one of the best walking companions at the shelter.<br/><br/>Rip would do best in an adult only home where he has space to thrive and a consistent routine. While he loves people, his size and playful, sometimes goofy energy make him better suited for a home without young children. He can be selective with other dogs, but he may do well with the right confident female companion who enjoys a bit of rough and tumble play. A home without cats is best.<br/><br/>After years of waiting, Rip deserves someone who will see how special he is. A loyal, smart, affectionate dog who’s just been overlooked for far too long.
