Introducing Ripple, the fluffiest tap-dancer we know! Most interactions with Ripple come with a soundtrack of excited tip-taps, complete with whole body wags, bouncy ears and a general enthusiasm for life. Simply put, it’s impossible not to smile when Ripple is nearby.
Ripple came from a neglectful situation, but her background did not stop her from being the optimist she is today! In her time at the BRC, she learned to walk on a leash, meet new people and generally feel more confident with new sights and sounds. She is currently seeking a home where she can continue to grow her confidence and in return, she will provide endless smiles and tap dances.
Ripple is a big fan of people, whether you’re a brand new stranger or a longtime friend. She warms up to people quickly, especially when treats and cheerful talk are involved. Ripple will keep close to people in her presence and is tolerant of petting, but she can be playfully avoidant at times. She will solicit pets from more familiar people but is generally happy to just hang out in your presence.
Ripple can co-exist nicely with calm, easygoing dogs, but she hasn’t shown any interest in rough-and-tumble play. She prefers a mellow dog companion who can match her laidback vibe, but she would also do just fine in a home as the only dog.
Ripple is an extremely pleasant walking companion. She typically walks at a comfortable pace on a loose leash with lots of offered eye contact between sniffs. We consider her a mildly energetic dog because she enjoys a casual walk, but she is also content to hangout on the couch and catch up on your favorite TV show.
