Trooper is a smart, loyal boy who truly loves his people and his pack. Inside the home he’s mellow and easygoing, but once he’s outdoors his playful, energetic side shines. He’s a big fan of fetch, tug‑of‑war, daily walks, and backyard playtime. Chew toys and bones are also high on his list of favorite things.
Trooper would thrive in a home with a yard and plenty of companionship—another friendly pet or someone who works from home or is retired would be ideal. He knows basic commands like sit and stay, is fully potty‑trained, and walks well on‑leash.
He was not well socialized when he was younger, so he can be nervous around unfamiliar dogs. With patience and positive experiences, he can continue building confidence. Trooper is not crate trained and does have separation anxiety, so he’ll need an adopter willing to help him work through that with gentle structure and consistency.
He’s healthy, up‑to‑date on vaccinations, and ready for a loving home that understands his needs for connection.
