Trooper is a young boy looking for a quiet but active home that will allow him the space, time and activity to truly thrive. He came from a neglectful situation and didn't appear to have alot of socialization with people prior to coming to MLAR. Because of this, he does have some fear-based reactivity to new people so any introductions should be done slowly.
He does well in playgroup with some of our larger dogs here and is very respectful in the way he interacts with them so would ideally go into a home with another pup of similar size. Please bring your resident dog to meet this handsome guy and make sure they are a match.
He loves his walks but can be a strong puller and will need continued training to improve and teach him loose leash walking. He has made great progress with our volunteers using the wait command to help keep him from pulling. While on the topic of commands, Trooper knows several! He loves to learn and it helps build relationships with his handlers as well, so it is a win-win situation.
We are recommending a home with strong dog handling skills, adults only or savvy teens, no small/young kids please. Trooper really deserves his chance at a safe, loving, patient forever home!
If you are interested in adopting, please come prepared - bring a photo ID, proof of address, and everyone in the home including resident dogs with vaccination history. We are open 11-5 pm.
