1st adoption of 2026:

Handsome Ripley

Our very own Mark Cefalu has adopted his 3rd Rotten Rottie Ripley (previously known as Rupert) !! Mark has been part of the Rotten Rottie family for years, and when I asked him to meet The man that found li'l Ripley in an ally in Casa Grande he didn’t hesitate to help!

Something unexpected happened on their way back... they fell in love!! Timing could not have been worse though because Mark’s Rotten Rottie, Kai, just had his second ACL surgery which means that Kai has to stay calm and no playing for 6 weeks!

So li'l Ripley couldn’t go home yet. Yesterday, Ripley was sent to boarding school for a month with Karen at Dynamic Dog Training AZ to learn from the best, so when Ripley does get to go to his new home and meet his new brother, he will be ready to enjoy the good stuff in life!

Ripley and Mark

Huge thanks to Richard and Alicia Isaacson and D and Niko Huffman for letting Ripley hang out with them until school started. On his first day of school this frozen white stuff was falling out of the sky!! How fun! Congrats Mark and Rene!
