Story
Good with other dogs • Food motivated • Tolerates toddlers but is nervous with fast movements
Meet Tripoli, a sweet and affectionate little dog who loves to be pampered! She enjoys being brushed and bathed—she might even think of it as a spa day. Above all, she wants to be near her people and would thrive in a quiet home where she can spend her days by your side.
Tripoli is spunky, courageous, and a little bit silly. She sleeps in bed with her foster at night and naps happily on the floor or couch during the day. She currently uses potty pads indoors and hasn’t been too eager to venture outside in the snow.
While she’s very loving, Tripoli can be nervous around loud noises and fast movements. She paces when she’s anxious and has some separation anxiety—she becomes very distressed when she’s not near her preferred person. A calm, low-key home would be ideal for her, and she may be a great match for a retired couple or someone who is home most of the time.
She has tolerated her foster’s toddler but gets nervous if there’s too much sudden movement. When visiting a friend’s house with energetic kids, she became very anxious, so she’ll be happiest in a peaceful environment.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion who wants nothing more than to be close to you, Tripoli could be the perfect fit!

Thank you for your interest in adopting a dog from Little Dog Rescue. Our dogs come from a variety of sources and backgrounds. They are all in need of adopters that have patience, an understanding of where these dogs have come from, and that there will be an adjustment time when they transition into their forever home. This can include learning basic commands, walking on leash and potty training. Some dogs will pick up on your routine and expectations faster than others. Potty accidents will happen. We find that positive reinforcement, consistency, and routine from the adopter achieves the best results.
We are a small, all volunteers team and give 100% of our efforts towards doing right by these pups. We are often juggling many responsibilities at the same time and do our very best to process inquiries and applications in a timely manner. We do prioritize inquiries that have a submitted application on file through the Little Dog Rescue website.
We do our best to accurately assign breed designations, however we are unable to guarantee 100% accuracy. Sometimes we only have the dogs appearance to go on.
Our adoption fees are thoughtfully considered. The adoption fee is not a purchase price for the dog. It is a fee that is designed to support the overall work of our rescue. Highly desirable dogs and puppies are intentionally listed with a higher adoption fee. This is done to help offset the enormous medical expenses we incur when taking in older pups and special needs medical dogs whose adoption fees do not come close to covering their expenses. In addition, the vast majority of our dogs are brought in from out of state and incur transport fees along with their medical and acquisition costs. We ask that you take all of these things into consideration, and we look forward to finding a great match for your family.
