About Trooper

Meet Trooper!

Trooper is a handsome 2 1/2-year-old, 60-pound gentleman who's looking for a quiet companion to share his life with. He's the kind of dog who will quietly follow you from room to room, curl up nearby while you take a nap, and make every day a little brighter simply by being there. He is incredibly smart, fully housebroken, kennel trained, doesn't shed, and already knows commands like "stay," "come," "lay down," and "quiet." He walks beautifully on a leash, rides calmly in the car, and is happiest spending time with the person he loves. Trooper has a gentle, tender heart and responds to kindness, encouragement, and consistency. He isn't a loud or demanding dog—he simply wants to know he is safe and that he is with his family. He enjoys cozy naps on a soft bed, watching the world from the patio next to his human, peaceful car rides, gentle playtime, and being wherever you are. Like many deeply loyal dogs, Trooper experiences some separation anxiety and will thrive with someone who wants a true companion rather than a dog that is left alone for long hours. In return, you'll gain a best friend whose love and devotion are hard to put into words. He has done well with other dogs, ignores barking dogs on walks, and has protective instincts that are easily redirected because he listens exceptionally well. Trooper is looking for a family who will see beyond his timid eyes and recognize the incredibly loyal, loving dog waiting to give his whole heart. If you've been hoping for a faithful companion who will love you with everything he has, Trooper is waiting to meet you.
