Rip is a 5 year old hound who came to us because he was a hunting dog who no longer wants to hunt. Rip has been an outside dog his whole life, but he is very friendly and enjoys attention. He is a high energy pup who loves to run around. Because he is so active, he’s had a hard time keeping weight on him. Rip is good with other dogs and children, but he has never been around cats.
