Riptide's Story

Meet RIPTIDE! Beauty, Brains, and a Whole Lot of Personality! <br/><br/>At just 12 weeks old, this adorable Husky mix is already proving that he’s got beauty AND brains! And when we say he’s smart, we mean WICKED SMART! <br/><br/>Riptide has hit the foster home jackpot! His foster mom happens to be a search and rescue dog handler, so he’s getting a pretty incredible head start in life. She’s been teaching him all the good things, and he’s soaking it up like a little sponge! He already knows an impressive number of commands for such a young puppy and is picking up new things at lightning speed.<br/><br/>But don’t let all those brains fool you—he’s still a happy-go-lucky, loosey-goosey, fun-loving little puppy! He’s wonderfully socialized, well-rounded, loves people, adores other animals, and seems to approach just about everything in life with a wagging tail and a joyful attitude.<br/><br/>He’s got that perfect combination of intelligence, confidence, sweetness, and a whole lot of personality!<br/><br/>We estimate that Riptide will be medium to large in size once fully grown.<br/><br/>We can see this boy thriving in so many different settings and lifestyles. He’s got the brains, personality, and adaptability to be an incredible companion. But one thing we’re going to be particular about is making sure his forever family continues giving him all the good things, opportunities, and adventures that he deserves.<br/><br/>We aren’t looking for a home where he’ll simply be a dog that lives there. We’re looking for a home where he’s truly part of the family. A family who includes him in their daily lives, takes him along on adventures, continues challenging that brilliant little mind, and gives him every opportunity to experience the world around him.<br/><br/>He’s getting an exceptional foundation in his foster home, and we want to see that continue throughout his life. He doesn’t necessarily need a fancy job or a particular lifestyle, but he absolutely deserves a family who recognizes his potential and wants him right there beside them, sharing in life’s everyday moments and big adventures alike.<br/><br/>Someone is going to hit the absolute jackpot with Riptide, and we intend to make sure he hits the jackpot with them, too! <br/><br/> A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ADOPTING RIPTIDE!<br/><br/> Currently fostered in Tennessee, but don’t let the distance discourage you! We will personally transport him to his approved adopter in the following areas:<br/><br/> Virginia<br/><br/> Washington, D.C.<br/><br/> Maryland<br/><br/> Pennsylvania<br/><br/> New Jersey<br/><br/> New England (with the exception of Massachusetts)<br/><br/>We’re so sorry, Massachusetts friends! Unfortunately, we are not licensed to place dogs in your state.<br/><br/> Riptide has received all of his puppy vaccinations and is ready to head home as soon as we find his perfect match!<br/><br/>We have a feeling this little guy is going to catch someone’s eye pretty quickly, so if you think he might be the missing piece of your family, don’t wait until he’s scooped up!<br/><br/> HOW TO APPLY:<br/><br/>Email us at BrightHopeAdoptions@gmail.com<br/><br/>You’ll receive an automatic reply containing the link to our online adoption application.<br/><br/>Or you can click directly on this link to apply<br/><br/>https://fs22.formsite.com/ahopson/form2/index.html<br/><br/>We’re not simply looking for someone to adopt Riptide. We’re looking for someone who will give him the wonderful life he’s already being prepared for.<br/><br/>His foster mom has given him an incredible beginning. Now we’re looking for the family who will give him an equally incredible forever. <br/><br/>Please share!!
