Tripper

“Howdy! My name’s Tripper. I’m a yellow lab mix who weighs about 65 pounds. I was adopted from a shelter 7 years ago. My exact age isn’t known but my human says I’m between 9-10 years old. I am a very good boy who wants to find a home without other animals.

“I don’t know why I don’t like other dogs but my person will tell you I have been this way since he adopted me. I’ve never lived with a cat. I just watch them from the window when they are outside. I don’t bark at them, just wonder about them. It is probably best not to adopt me if you have a cat. I do like kids though! The kids that are old enough to play fetch with me and pet me nicely (not sit or pull me). My human says I’d be a good family dog. But I could live with a single person or a couple too. I love humans! I am friendly and enjoy it when we have company over.

“I still consider myself young, well maybe I’m middle-aged because I’m not a hyper puppy! I can manage quite a bit when I need to wait for a potty break. I can still do stairs too. A home with a fenced yard I can go out into would be terrific. If you would like a walking partner, I could be the one for you but we’ll have to work on my leash skills and reactivity if we see another dog while we are out. I am very treat motivated and smart so I’d bet with some training, we could really enjoy ourselves! It’s nice when a dog doesn’t have to be on alert, you know? Just enjoy time with our person. That’s what we want!

“If you have to leave the house, I am just fine. Of course, when I first move you’ll have to give me some time to settle in. I will bark to let you know when someone is at the door or if a dog is barking outside but aside from that, I’m not a barky boy.

“Playing with toys is fun! Hanging out with my human is fun too. I’m a good boy in search of a good, rest-of-my-life home.”
