About Tramp
Hello! My name is Tramp, and I made a big journey all the way from Kosovo to find my forever family here in the USA—maybe it’s with you! I’m a 1 year old shepherd mix with a gentle heart and a playful spirit. My foster mom says I’m settling in beautifully, and I’ve already become quite the couch-loving, snuggly houseguest.
Personality
I’m a calm, affectionate puppy who loves to play and is always ready for a cuddle. I’m learning new things every day and adjusting well to life here, enjoying cozy naps just as much as I enjoy a good romp with my foster siblings. I’m gentle and respectful in play and have done wonderfully with children, showing lots of patience and kindness. I’m not much of a barker—you’ll hardly hear a peep from me!
Energy Level & Play Style
For a young pup, I’m surprisingly mellow! I’m playful and curious but also happy to relax and snuggle, especially on rainy days. I play well with other dogs and am respectful of boundaries, making me an easy-going companion. I love routine and do best in a calm environment, where I can relax and be my best self.
Skills and Training
I’m making great progress with my training and daily routine. I sleep through the night, keep my crate clean when my foster family is away, and am getting used to leash walking with a little patience. I’m housetrained when kept on a schedule and am working on building good manners—my foster family says I’m a quick learner. I also completed a 6-week puppy training class and have been practicing at home, so I’m ready to continue my journey to becoming a well-mannered dog!
Health and Special Care
I have a bit of a sensitive tummy, which can act up with dietary changes or in stressful environments. My foster family is working with vets to develop a plan to keep me feeling my best. I can only have specific foods, like my current kibble, to help manage this, and freeze-dried chicken seems to work as an occasional treat. With the right care, I’m thriving!
Companionship
I’d be a wonderful companion for a family who enjoys a balance of play and relaxation. I’m gentle with children and do well with other dogs, making me a great fit for families or individuals who want a sweet, low-key buddy. I thrive on routine, calmness, and kindness, and I’m looking forward to bringing all the love I have to give to a forever home.
Love and Affection
I’m a gentle, affectionate pup who loves to be close to my people. Whether it’s cuddling on the couch or giving and receiving hugs, I’ll bring endless warmth and companionship to your home.
All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
