My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Tribble, who is being fostered in Staunton, VA, is 8 years old. He has an incredibly sweet nature and is very affectionate. Tribble has pronounced arthritis and dysplasia in his back left hip. His veterinarian stated that he most likely ruptured a disc early in his life which was never addressed medically. Tribble has learned to compensate by using the right side of his body. He is full of zest and enthusiasm and his condition doesn’t affect his positive nature. He can gallop when excited and walks easily. Tribble’s foster mom says, “he is a wonderful example of the resilient spirit of a Peke!” He also has the most adorable “Peke” snore!

Tribble is housetrained. He loves belly rubs and wandering around his backyard. He does great with dogs and tolerates the cats in his foster mom’s home. Sometimes he will chase them, but he isn’t aggressive with them and the kitties can outrun him! Tribble would do best in a slower-paced home without a lot of activity and no steps to climb. He would make a wonderful and loving companion for someone who is patient with his ambulatory issues. A fenced-in yard is desirable for Tribble so that he can learn his yard boundary and be able to roam and play safely.
