About Trip

Trip is a friendly and affectionate companion who thrives in the company of another dog. He enjoys snuggling up with his favorite people, often eager for pets and belly rubs. Trip can be nervous around new people, having spent a long time on his own, but once he warms up, he’s a delightful lap dog. It’s best for him to be in a calm environment where guests allow him to approach them at his own pace. He's learned that having a canine buddy boosts his confidence, which is why he needs to go home with another dog. A recent experience showed how much that support helps him interact positively with newcomers. Outdoor spaces should have a secure physical fence, as sudden noises can make him anxious. He’s housebroken and lets you know when he needs to go out. Gentle, positive training works wonders for him, and he enjoys quiet evenings curled up with his humans watching TV. Trip is ready to find a forever home where he’ll never have to face the world alone again. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
