Help make Ripley’s dream come true this holiday season by sponsoring his adoption fee – or by welcoming him home yourself. Let’s make sure he spends the holidays with a family of his own!

To help Ripley find his forever family, we’re offering sponsorship for his adoption fee. This is your chance to make a difference in his life and help him finally find the peace and security he deserves. With his adoption fee covered, Ripley just needs the right person or family to open their heart and home.

Here is a little more info about Ripley!

Just a few minutes with Ripley and your heart melts. That’s all it takes for him to open your mind and for you to fall in love with him. There is something so beautiful about his soul and the way he loves life just brings a smile to your face. He’s such a good boy and really deserves to have his own home.

Ripley has lived in his foster home since he was just six months old and semi-feral. He was originally rescued when he and his three littermates were found wandering through the woods down south. His littermates have since been adopted. Ripley is one of three of our dogs to be available for adoption the longest.

His foster mom worked diligently with Ripley to gain his trust and help him feel comfortable in new and different situations. He would soon, no longer be considered semi feral. At the end of 2019, Ripley was just starting to attend adoption events to find his furever family when Covid hit, forcing adoption events to come to a halt.

Just as public adoption events began again, Ripley became a frequent flyer at vet appointments instead - in search of an answer to what was causing sudden weight loss, impaired vision and changes to his skin. We spared no expense and Ripley went to see multiple specialists at top veterinary hospitals in order to find an answer. The good news: x-rays and ultrasound proved Ripley to be entirely healthy.

As for his vision, we learned that Ripley had indeed become completely blind. After much testing, they discovered that Ripley had damage to the optic nerves in both eyes (either from an infection or from a temporary auto-immune condition). He is not on any medicine as he is completely healthy.

While Ripley is now blind, it doesn’t define who he is at all. Ripley is a well behaved gentleman, does well on a leash, gets around very well despite his blindness, loves to explore and smell, loves attention and is a total sweetheart. He simply LOVES the ladies (preferring both female humans and canines over males).

We would love for him to land a fenced in yard (for his safety and his love of being outside)
Another canine companion (male or female)
Adult only home for a more predictable environment (to live his best life)
Some patience & understanding (he’ll bring the thank you kisses)
