Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Tripp is a gorgeous boy who is approximately 3 years old. He has a brilliant black and tan soft healthy coat. Despite Tripp's vision impairment, he runs and plays with other dogs and makes his way around the yard and house with out a hitch. He is such a happy dog, you would never even know he didn't have perfect vision. He is crate trained and is very content to lay in there burrowed under his favorite down blanket. He does not bark much at all, and he is calm and well behaved while in the house. Tripp has made friends with all his foster siblings, and he likes to wrestle and play chase. Like many of my other dogs, he\'s a bit of a food hound, so I feed him in his crate and that works out really well. I honestly think a lot of this stems from his sense of smell being more acute to make up for his shadowed vision. Once there is a routine established, he seems to be very good at doing all his business outside. Tripp was in a sanctuary down in Corpus Christie, and DREAM brought him to Houston in hopes of finding him a forever family.
