Story
Sonny and his brother Simon are a playful pair of young guys who would love to find their forever homes. They are housed together at the shelter, but do not need to be adopted together. Simon is a bit more playful and likes to run, chase sticks, and get plenty of scratches.

Story
We are now accepting applications for Ripp aka Ripley! Ripp is approx. 12-18 months young. He is about 20# and stands 18" high. We are guessing he is a miniature poodle mix of some kind. He will need regular grooming. One thing is for sure... he is ALL PUPPY.  Ripp loves and wants to play with all the dogs; even the ones that don't feel the same way about him. He would greatly benefit from a manners class or an experienced owner to guide him. Ripp would excel at agility and/or tricks. He loves to run and jump and play. He also loves to walk rightnext to you or even between your legs. If you've ever wanted to perform a dog dancing routine I think he would be great at that.   Ripp is a little timid with new people so will need slow introductions and patient adopters. It'll take him a couple of days to start to feel comfortable. He should be fine with older kids but with his higher energy would likely knock down smaller children. He has not been cat tested yet but that can be arranged if needed. Ripp also loves all the toys but is still learning what is a toy and what isn't. Ripp seems housetrained; he hasn't had any accidents since he's been with me. He does fine in the crate once he's in there but he's still learning what it means to "kennel up." He sleeps well at night in his bed next to mine. Ripp's adoption fee is $200. He is fully vetted for 1 year, neutered, and microchipped. He does require a fenced in yard (he needs help with his leash skills) & currently lives in Elkhart, IN. If you're looking for a fun little guy to keep you active Ripp is your man! You can apply to adopt Ripp at www.trackingintheshadows.com.   **We do not accept electric/underground fences. All dogs & cats in the home must be spayed/neutered & up to date on core vaccines & preventatives in order for your application to be approved.** ##2094106##
