Trooper is the definition of loyal companion. This sweet boy does wonderfully with other dogs and is even good with cats! He truly enjoys having furry friends around and would likely thrive in a home with another dog to help him feel confident and keep him company. He especially loves to play with other dogs and would be so happy to have a playful sibling in his forever home.
Trooper is incredibly friendly and happiest when he’s close to his person or people. Whether you’re relaxing on the couch, doing chores around the house, or just moving from room to room, you can count on Trooper to be right there with you. He bonds deeply and loves being part of the family.
While he’s a loving and happy boy, Trooper can be sensitive to loud noises or a lot of activity. When things feel overwhelming, he doesn’t act out — he simply heads to his crate, which he considers his safe space. It’s his cozy retreat where he can relax and feel secure. Because of this, he would do best in a home that understands his gentle nature and can offer him a calm, reassuring environment.
If you’re looking for a sweet, dog-friendly, cat-friendly, loyal companion who just wants to be near you and love you, Trooper may be your perfect match.

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
