Trooper's Story

Trooper is a large guy who just wants snuggles and playtime. He lays near foster mom during the workday, and then cuddles on the couch in the evening. He likes his squeaky-toys and playing chase. He is good with other dogs and enjoys playing with his housemates. He does like to chase some cats, so a home with no cats would be best for him. He of fully house trained. He walks best with a halter but does pull sometimes when he's excited. Knows basic commands. Very food motivated. He is just a super Trooper! <br/><br/>He was reactive to the kennel, so we improvised by limiting him to the living room if we had to be gone for any length of time, and we had no issues. He slept in the bedroom with us at night.
