My Story

Date into Rescue:12/3/2024

Reason for being in rescue: Breeder release.

Special Needs: Trooper is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 01/08/25 Trooper had a dental polishing.

What kind of home would be best for me: 

Say hello to Trooper, one

Trooper is versatile and would thrive in a home with a single person, a couple, or a family. He’s not overly active and doesn’t jump, so he could be a great fit for families with children of any age. He requires a home with a securely fenced backyard where he can run and play safely.

Trooper would do best as the only dog in the home. He can be a little possessive and prefers to be the center of attention when it comes to his person—he wants you all to himself! He may show some agitation and irritation towards other dogs, so a home where he can have all your love and attention is ideal.

What is my personality like: 

Trooper came to us as a breeder release and had a lot to learn when he first arrived. One thing he didn’t need to learn - how to love people. This sweet boy is a people person through and through. He’s gentle and affectionate, and his love for humans is boundless.

Trooper walks well on a leash, though a refresher course would help him sharpen his skills. His new family will need to continue working with him on basic commands like sit, stay, down, and come. Trooper isn't a fan of being crated—he’d much prefer to roam freely around the house, so he’s best suited for a home where he’s allowed that freedom.

Trooper would love to be your adventure buddy. Whether it’s a walk, a hike in the mountains, a trip to the beach, or even running errands like a trip to the grocery store or hanging out at the local coffee shop, Trooper is ready to go wherever you want to take him.

If you are looking for a calm, gentle, and mellow fellow to accompany you on all your adventures, Trooper is the dog for you. Trooper is the perfect companion for someone who wants a sweet, low-key dog with a lot of love to share.

How do I act when I first meet new people: Trooper 

is not the type to rush up to strangers for affection, but he loves people and is happy to accept love and pets when offered.

Tips and Tidbits: Trooper was born on 1/23/2017.

House trained: Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule if a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained.  A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.

Potential Adopters

Please note - we do not ship or transport our dogs. If you are interested in adopting a dog, take a look at the distance between the dog's location and your location and make sure you are able to make the trip.

Thank you for your interest in a dog who needs a new home. This description contains all that we currently know about this dog. We have no perfect dogs - but many of our dogs have proven to be perfect for a certain someone. We urge all of our potential adopters not to fall in love with a picture. When screening applications, we look at the entire home and then make suggestions based on what would be a good fit for your home. You are not being screened for a specific dog although we are looking to see what type of dog interests you - poodles or non poodles, age, temperament, personality, etc. Our goal is to match you with the best possible pet for you and your home. We want to create furever families.
