Doggy daycare has been one of his favorite activities and has helped him burn energy while building social skills.<br/><br/>His compatibility with cats is unknown, but based on his overall temperament, he may do well with proper introductions.<br/><br/>He loves children, but because of his energy level and tendency to get excited, he may accidentally knock over smaller children during play.<br/><br/>Why You'll Love Ripley<br/><br/>Ripley is the kind of dog who forms a deep bond with his people.<br/><br/>He's goofy enough to make you laugh, smart enough to keep you on your toes, and affectionate enough to melt your heart.<br/><br/>He may need a little guidance as he continues growing into adulthood, but the effort you invest in Ripley will be rewarded many times over. Underneath the adolescent energy is a loyal, loving dog who wants nothing more than to be part of a family.<br/><br/>If you're looking for an active companion who will join you on adventures, keep you entertained, and snuggle up beside you at the end of the day, Ripley is ready to meet you.<br/><br/>Ripley is fostered in Holmen, WI.<br/><br/>To apply to adopt, visit tailsofhopewi.org<br/><br/>Please note donations using the SPONSOR ME tab on PetFinder will not go to Tails of Hope-WI.
