Meet Tripp!
This young adult retriever boy came to us form a high kill shelter after being picked up as a stray. We do not know much about him yet, but here is what we DO know.
Tripp is approximately 2-3 yrs old and weighs about 50 lbs. He has an old injury on his left front ankle that causes him to walk with a limp. x-rays show a fractured bone near the ankle joint that causes his foot to hyperextend...it looks like he is wearing a big , floppy clown shoe. It does not seem to stop him.. he will chase a tennis ball as many times as you will throw it for him. He can also climb a chain link fence so he will either need to be taken out on leash or will require a privacy type fence. He is very sweet and good natured. Loves all people that he meets....does fine with dogs, hates cats. We do not know if he is housetrained but assume not. With a little bit of training this baby could be a great companion for a very lucky family. Video available upon request.
