My story

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

Our sweet Rip had a hard life - he was adopted from a high kill shelter as a puppy where his original family returned him back to the same high kill shelter just a few months after adopting him as they were unprepared for his large size. He was just hours away from being euthanized this time around due to lack of interest from the public before caring advocates swooped in to save him.

Personality: He gets his endearing name from "ripping" around - he is full of life and just loves to romp around and play with his new doggie siblings at his foster home. He gets along with dogs both big and small and has a great temperament and demeanor both with dogs alike and humans. He is an incredibly loving boy who is just happy to be loved back.

Training: He has been bounced around from place to place before coming to us at Thrive, causing for him to become anxious and slightly destructive when left alone. We don't know just yet if it's actually separation anxiety, or just him decompressing in his new digs since going from place to place, or simply being a large high energy dog who becomes frustrated when he's bored and turns to things that he can tear up (like blankets). Regardless, we're committed to help him through his stress and show him that we're here to stay. The anxiety and stress that he does display is mild, but still something to note.

The perfect forever family: Rip would do great in an active home with someone to hang out with, go on adventures, and play with other doggie friends. We're not sure how he'd do around young kids or cats.

Rip is safe and loved in his foster home while he awaits for a committed forever family.

More about this rescue

Thrive Animal Rescue is the brainchild of Cece Durante Bloum and Georgia Spogli. Cece, a lifelong animal lover, equestrian and founder of Newmarket Equestrian Center, sought a way to incorporate her love for animals with her desire to give back to the community. Being a dog lover first and foremost, Cece began finding dogs in shelters for friends who wanted to adopt but could not bear the heartache of searching through shelters to find the right match. Cece realized that shelters are filled with dogs who have been abandoned for reasons having nothing to do with serious health or behavioral issues. Georgia had completed similar rescue work on the East Coast and successfully placed several dogs in the loving homes of friends and associates in the equestrian world. Georgia felt a calling to do more and joined forces with Cece in 2014. They recruited more dog loving friends from the equestrian world, applied for non-profit status, and Thrive Animal Rescue was born!

Thrive continues to carry out its mission to rescue family friendly dogs from abandonment and shelters and place them in loving forever homes. Additionally, it is our goal to educate adopters on the importance of their commitment to their new furry family member. We consider suitability a vital part of the process of placing a dog in a loving forever home and believe this diminishes the likelihood that a dog will become displaced or rehomed again, thereby reducing the number of viable dogs being euthanized.
