About Rip’s Breed:
Chihuahuas are bold, confident and loyal. They are affectionate with their people but can be wary of strangers but warm up quickly. They are intelligent and trainable, though they may be a little stubborn at times, but they keep it interesting! They are also known to be vocal and love to “chit chat”!
Meet Rip - Your Pocket Rocket Pal!
Rip is a 1-year-old, 8-pound Chihuahua with a heart full of joy and legs built for zoomies! This little guy may be small in size, but he’s bursting with personality, energy, and love.
After spending too much time in a crate before coming into rescue, Rip is finally getting to stretch his legs—and he’s loving every minute of it. He's enjoying the crate again now that it has fluffy blankets and it's a nice cozy place for him to rest. However, he’s perfectly fine being left home alone without one too! He’s already mastering potty training with consistency and patience.
Rip thrives in the company of other dogs and adores his furry foster sibling. Whether he’s romping around the yard, showing off his adorable prance, or engaging in respectful play, Rip brings a contagious zest for life to every moment. He’s got great recall, learns quickly, and is a dream on a leash—walks are one of his favorite things!
Rip enjoys being around humans, including kids, and is a total cuddle bug when it’s time to wind down. He’ll need gentle boundaries to help him learn when it’s time to chill, but his affectionate nature makes him a wonderful companion.
If you’re looking for a smart, playful, and loving pup who’s ready to rocket into your heart, Rip might just be your perfect match. He’s small, spirited, and seriously sweet—come meet him and see why everyone’s falling for this little dynamo!
Rip’s Ideal Home:
• Best with an active owner/family who is ready to take walks and play!
• In a home that will continue working with him on training as he is so smart and loves to learn!
