Ripley's name came from the old "Ripley's Believe It or Not" stories. The day I saw him at the shelter I lifted up the mess of overgrown and matted hair in front of his eyes and saw a cutie under all of that. Right then I thought "Believe it or not, there's a sweet dog under all of that hair just waiting to be loved."
