TROOPER's Story
Trooper is back at TJO with a healthier physique and is excited to share that he has learned a few skills! He has spent time with kids and other dogs, doing well with both, and has even begun exploring the different kinds of toys he can play with - stuffies are one of his favorites! OTHER PETS: Trooper will likely get along with other dogs and should meet any that he would be living with prior to adoption. [Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: [First Dog] Experience with positive reinforcement or willingness to learn. KIDS: Trooper is a big, gentle boy who has not exhibited resource-guarding, is comfortable with handling, and has done well with children with active supervision. He would likely get along with most humans and should meet all humans he would be living with prior to adoption. [Likely (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Trooper spent a lot of time running off leash in contained areas in his last placement. A combination of regular exercise and plenty of mental enrichment will help keep Trooper strong, and meet his needs! [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete] VETERINARY CARE: Trooper will need a good relationship with a vet as he was severely emaciated when he first came to TJO and we want to ensure that any potential complications from enduring such severe food deprivation are caught and remedied quickly. [Above Average] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Trooper bond with his new owner as well as help him learn new skills and fun tricks. Positive reinforcement is a great way to create a strong bond and continue building confidence. [Minimal] GROOMING: [Minimal]
