Meet Ripley, he is currently in Arkansas but will be hitching a ride to CA the first week in August. Ripley had a family in Arkansas, but his crazy owner threatened to take him out back and shoot him. Fortunately, it took a village, but some amazing people were able to rescue him and keep him safe. He is so adorable about 10 months old; He is a mix of Am Staff and Beagle and weighs about 47 pounds. Ripley will need a foster/adopter when he arrives in CA. He enjoys the company of people and just about every dog he meets. He does like to play with other dogs so he would do great in a family that has other dogs or mingles with other dogs often. If you are interested in fostering or adopting this adorable little guy, please email fochp@yahoo.com
