My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Rip Wheeler
This handsome boy is pretty amazing and insanely sweet (once he knows you). He's a very smart boy who learns quickly.

Rip is a roughly 1-1.5 (EST DOB 12/1/22)

Rip house and crate trained.

He knows how to sit, shake hands and we are working on his down.

He still isn't walking on a leash without coaxing but we are getting there! He's just a watchy type of guy.

He is VERY particular about his toys so he keeps them in his crate for safe keeping. For the most part he doesn't mind sharing but when it comes to his food, his crate or his stuffies... He's not so keen on the idea, but who can really blame him?

Rip is believed to be a Australian Shepherd / Great Pyrenees mix. However I was recently told he looks like a Karakachan... Idk he's just a BIG beautiful boy!

He will need to go to a family with a quiet lifestyle and a large securely fenced yard.

He is not a fan of cats or rabbits. He would make the worst LSG ever. He does keep watch for hawks flying over although sometimes he gets confused and mistakes a butterfly for a bird ?

He would do best in a home with no other dogs or maybe a older laid back female. He's a bit pushy with other males. He is currently used to a crate and rotate schedule.

He does have stranger danger tendencies so he isn't going to be a dog park, festival, local pub kinda guy.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process consists of an application, reference checks, home visits when a reference check is not enough, meet and greet and adoption contract signing.

Please fill out all application fields as accurately as possible. We will not process incomplete applications.

If a dog/pup is listed on Petfinder, we are still accepting applications on him/her.

We do not adopt on a first come, first serve basis, but based on what we feel is the best fit for the family and most importantly, the animal.

We do not keep applications on file. If you are interested in a particular animal please complete an application for that particular animal.

Due to limited space and funding we are unable to, "hold" any animal to be adopted at a later time even with a completed adoption contract.

We welcome out of state adopters. However, please keep in mind that you will HAVE TO come to Holly Hill, SC to meet and adopt any of our animals.

Adoption fees are normally $500 for dogs $300 for cats. However they vary by animal and are listed in each individual posting.

Meet and Greets are scheduled only with approved adoption applications.

Please keep in mind that we do our best to make an educated guess as to the breeds of our rescued pets. In rescue we rarely see the parents of our dogs and puppies, and even when we do, they are usually mixed breeds as well. We also rarely know the age or background (behavioral & medical). We do our best to give accurate descriptions based on what we see while we have them.

More about this rescue

RAVE, which stands for Rural Animal Volunteer Effort, provides crucial care and support for the feral cat colonies and stray dogs in rural South Carolina by offering Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) services, food, shelter, and medical attention to improve their quality of life.

RAVE takes on dogs that others view as 'unadoptable' or 'not desirable'. Most intakes being hounds, pitbull mixes, black dogs, seniors, medical cases or ferals. As a result, the adoption rate for RAVE is lower compared to other rescues in the area. These dogs tend to stay with RAVE for a minimum of 6 months to 1 year. In some cases, dogs have been with the rescue even longer.

RAVE not only focuses on providing care and support for dogs but also extends its helping hand to orphaned kittens, equines, and even ducks in need. The organization's commitment towards animal welfare is truly commendable as they strive to make a difference in the lives of all animals that come their way.
