About Ripley
🐾 Those Ears! That Face! That Clever Little Brain! Meet Ripley ❤️
10-month-old Kelpie x German Shepherd | Desexed female
Meet Ripley, a gorgeous young girl with the most adorable oversized ears, a beautiful face and a very clever little brain!
Ripley came into our care after her living owners life had a change and she was no longer able to care for Ripley.
Ripley is a young dog so still requires training but the mix of 2 very smart breeds she's a very quick learner .
Ripley is looking for her special person — someone to share adventures, cuddles and everyday life with. She's an affectionate girl who loves attention and being close to her favourite human. Wherever you go, she'll probably be right behind you. Moving to the next room? Of course she's coming! Sitting down for a cuddle? She's already there!
❤️ A cuddle bug with a clever mind
Ripley absolutely loves cuddles and simply being with her person. She's also incredibly intelligent and observant, paying attention to everything happening around her. She's a quick learner when something catches her interest, and she's always keen to work things out.
At just ten months old, she's still learning about the world and will benefit from ongoing training, patience and positive reinforcement. For someone who enjoys teaching their dog new things, Ripley could be a wonderfully rewarding companion.
🗣️ A girl who likes to have her say!
Ripley isn't just clever — she's quite the little communicator, too! She has her own adorable way of letting you know what she's thinking, with her very own “rah-rah-rah” sounds.
Ripley has a big personality and isn't shy about expressing herself. Her little conversations are just another part of what makes her such an entertaining and endearing character.
🧠 Clever, curious and always ready for fun
Those big ears aren't just for decoration! Ripley likes to keep an eye on what's happening around her, and her curious mind is always working.
She's a resourceful little problem-solver who enjoys exploring her surroundings and figuring things out. She'll thrive with someone who enjoys keeping her bright mind engaged through training, scent games, puzzle feeders, suitable chew toys and learning new tricks.
🌿 Adventures, playtime and cuddles
Ripley is a mix of two intelligent, active breeds, so she'll suit an active home that can provide daily exercise, mental stimulation and opportunities to explore.
She'd love someone who enjoys walks, discovering new places, teaching tricks and including their dog in everyday activities. A home with a backyard where she can explore and play would be lovely, too.
And after all that fun? Ripley will be more than happy to settle beside her favourite person for some well-earned cuddles.
Ripley currently lives with other dogs and enjoys their company. She could also be happy as the only dog in her new home, provided her needs for exercise, companionship and enrichment are met.
👨👩👧👦 A fun-loving family companion
Ripley previously lived with a family and children, and she loved playing with them and joining in the fun.
She's still a young, energetic girl who can jump and bounce about when excited, so a home with older children would be a better fit than one with very young children. She'd love a family who enjoys playing with her, spending time together and helping her continue to learn and grow.
💕 Could Ripley be your girl?
Ripley is looking for someone who wants a loving, intelligent and entertaining companion — a dog to include in everyday life, take on adventures, teach new things and share plenty of affection with.
She's still young and has so much potential. With consistent guidance, an active lifestyle and lots of love, she has every opportunity to grow into a wonderful lifelong companion.
If you're looking for a clever girl who'll follow you around, keep you company, make you laugh with her little “rah-rah-rah” conversations and happily curl up beside you, Ripley could be your perfect match.
Ripley's bed, food, collar and lead will come with her to help her settle into her new home.
