PERSONALITY
Tripp is a sweet little guy looking for a family to shower with love and loyalty.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
This wee guy needs a lot of supervision to keep him on the right path while he grows.

This little guy is too young to hold his bladder for more than four hours so he can’t yet begin crate training. He is, however, doing a good job going potty outside in the yard and using the pee pads when he’s inside

COMPANIONSHIP
Tripp is full of puppy energy. He loves playing and napping in equal measure. He loves people, whether hanging around his foster family indoors, or exploring the outdoors. This friendly little guy enjoys following his humans around in the yard when they're exploring outdoors.

TRAINING AND LEARNING
Every day Tripp learns new things about the world and about how to have good puppy manners. Potty training is going well and he is doing a good job using the pee pads. He likes sleeping on his elevated Kuranda bed. He does a good job sitting for attention but he still needs to be encouraged to keep sitting or he will soon pop up, unable to contain his exuberance.

TRAITS AND IDEAL HOME
The ideal home is one with a patient family ready to help Tripp learn to be his best self. He would thrive in a home where he will be lovingly rewarded for learning commands, how to politely walk on a leash, stay quietly in his crate, greet people with good manners and all sorts of other important doggy skills. As he learns, he will reward his family with sweetness and loyalty.

LOVE AND AFFECTION
Although Tripp was initially shy around people, he has really opened up and readily greets you for attention and to be picked up for lap snuggles He loves to be held, give kisses and sit in any available warm lap. In his kennel, he entertains himself while also entertaining anyone watching, as he engages in adorable play with tug toys, stuffed toys and Nylabones.

Tripp (T litter) Tripp (T litter) is currently being fostered in Strasburg , VA.

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.
