About this Dog
Update 7.28.24 Rip now has an Alcatraz style crate. Within a few days he went from barking and trying to get out to just whining. Now- he will go in there on command and only whines when we are still within the home. So much progress!!! Rip has a hard time with strangers. He growls, barks, and jumps at people on walks, and people who come to the door- kids included. When we took him to the vet it took him until the end of the visit to warm up to the vet and the techs. He seems to just need more time to warm up to people. Rip is feeling extra comfortable in our home now, so we are seeing more jumping up to get our food, climbing our kitchen chairs to get to food. He takes a little longer to get down than he did when he arrived, but he eventually follows the commands. Rip has mastered “sit” in the house, but we are still working on it on our “working walks”. He is so amazing with our kids but plays rough with adults and sometimes his play can be confused with “aggression”. We are working on appropriate play but it is hard to follow through with 3 young kids in the home. Rip is the sweetest and most gorgeous boy. He is so good with our kids and they love him so much. He is very attached to us and follows us around during our daily routines. One of our favorite things that he does is help with our bedtime routine for our 3 kids. He goes into their rooms and fluffs up their pillows to get comfy and lay there while we are brushing teeth and reading bedtime stories. He gives multiple kisses and snuggles before heading to the next kid’s room. The other adorable thing he does is steal our shoes when we get home. After we get him out of his crate, he goes into our mudroom, takes one of our shoes and brings it to his bed. It’s like his cute way of telling us we can’t leave again if he has our shoes. Rip is an amazing dog with so much love to give! He's great with kids, but he would thrive in a home with older children, children that are in full time school, or a quieter environment where he can focus on his training. Rip is working on his leash manners and doorbell greetings, and he could benefit from a home with less foot traffic and fewer distractions such as the doorbell. He is crate-trained and does well when crated before guests arrive. With the right family and environment, Rip will be an incredible companion!

Adopt Skip and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Skip's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Skip's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Skip, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Skip's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Skip was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Skip’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Skip’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Skip’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
