Trooper (Wesson) Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler Mix Springfield, MO

Another Rescue One Success Story! I was shot in the face at close range by someone who apparently didn't want me around. My face and jaw were reconstructed and teeth had to be removed, but I am doing great....albeit a little weary of men of course! Thus...they named me Trooper because I am a TROOPER to have made it! I am an Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler who weighs 31 pounds and is 5 years old. I am working on house and crate training but great on a leash! I get along great with other dogs and I really like kids! A house with a yard and another fur sibling would be great. I have lots of energy to burn. If I can get my mental and physical needs met everyday, I am a much better boy! I still have some learning to do and some trauma to overcome, but everyday I am a little better. I tend to hide behind my foster mom if men approach. A special family who understands what I have been thru and is willing to be patient would be the best fit for me. I also need to mention that I am very agile and will need a privacy fence. Thanks Rescue One for saving me!
