Big Teddy Bear of a Dog who is eagerly looking to experience many new firsts. He has a shy side but will melt your heart once you’ve earned his trust.

Rip us a gentle, shy dog who is still finding his way in the world. He’s learning to navigate new experiences and surroundings, and with a little time and patience, he’s starting to discover the joy of life beyond his comfort zone. Though he may be initially cautious with new people and environments, Rip is making steady progress in building confidence and trust.

He enjoys the company of other dogs and loves to engage in playful interaction, though it may take him a little time to warm up. He’s also quite curious, especially about cats, though he’s not entirely sure what to make of them yet. With calm and patient introduction, he could adapt well to living with a feline friend.

Rip has been trained to have potty breaks outside in a run and has excellent leash manners on the few walks he’s taken in the neighborhood. As he’s still adjusting to the sights and sounds of city life, he may need some additional time getting used to unfamiliar sights and sounds of busy streets, as well as fellow humans and canines that may pass by. His playful side is definitely there – it’ll just take some time for him to feel comfortable enough to let it shine.

This sweet boy would thrive in a home that’s patient and understanding, where he can continue to grow and build confidence at his own pace. Regular exercise and training will go a long way to opening up his personality. Rip already enjoys offering licks and receiving regular head scratches after he’s had time to get comfortable with humans. If you’re looking for a quiet, kind dog with a heart of gold, Rip could be the perfect fit for you.

“My Teddy Bear looks with warm your heart”, xo, Rip. 💙
