About Trooper

Meet Trooper! This handsome 2 1/2-year-old, 60-pound boy is the epitome of a devoted companion. Trooper is a quiet presence who loves to be by your side, whether you're working, relaxing, or napping. He's incredibly smart, fully house-trained, and knows commands like "stay," "come," "lay down," and "quiet." He walks beautifully on a leash, enjoys calm car rides, and is happiest when he's with his favorite person. Trooper has a gentle, tender heart and thrives on kindness and consistency. He's not a barker or a demanding pup; he simply wants to feel safe and loved by his family. He enjoys cozy naps, watching the world from the patio, peaceful drives, gentle playtime, and simply being wherever you are.

Ideal Home

Trooper will thrive in a home where he has a true companion to reduce his separation anxiety. He does well with other dogs and ignores barking dogs on walks. His protective instincts are easily redirected due to his excellent listening skills.

Ongoing Health

Trooper is neutered and vaccinated, and he's ready to go to his forever home.

Training & Support

Trooper is fully house-trained and kennel-trained. He walks well on a leash and rides calmly in the car. He responds well to kindness, encouragement, and consistency.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.

Dogs are transported in climate-controlled vans with a team of two drivers and are crated for safety during the journey.
