Trooper

Trooper is part of litter that was not ethically planned. Just a person having a male and a female German Shepherd and decided to have a litter thinking they could make big money. Unfortunately, Trooper has a birth defect that involves him missing a small portion of his rear right leg, just below the hock. This birth defect doesn't seem to slow him down any. He gets along quite well. We have started him on his shots, deworming, microchipped and testing for parvo, Giardia, Coccidia and he's been negative for all of those. He has had flea and tick treatment as preventative and heartworm prevention to ensure he's in good health. He's expected to be around 80 lb. when he's grown. He's scheduled for neuter the 5th of November. When consulting with our vet, about his birth defect, it was advised to wait until he's closer to a 9-18 months before considering a possible prosthetic if he was to get one, they don't feel that amputation is needed, but another vet may have a different opinion. We don't want to stress him out anymore than we have to and since he seems to act like this is just a normal thing and isn't bothered by it, and he doesn't use it, we're going to watch and see what the best choice is. If he is adopted before said time frame, that would be up to an adopter to decide what they want to do. <br/>Trooper is good with other dogs. He's okay with cats, will sometimes bark at them. He has lived on a farm prior to coming to rescue, he's learning housebreaking some general obedience. We are hoping to find an individual that can look beyond his birth defect to see what a wonderful boy he is.<br/>Contact foster parent at (218)640-1930 or (218)371-1212 call/text.
