Hi Friends!!
My name is Trooper, well because I am a determined carefree live life kind of guy so everyone tells me I am a real trooper. Not sure what that means actually, but I like it and as you will see I know its my name when called! I am a young boy at only about one year old.

I know, you are pausing while watching my video thinking I am missing something right???? Yup, I only have three legs, but it does not slow me down, in fact my person says it makes me much more fun! I was born with a short leg and the doctors said it wasn’t really ever going to work for me and it was slowing down my mobility a bit so they decided I might be better with just three!

I had a rough start in life as I was part of a litter living not so ideal conditions in WV and I was the odd man out so I was left behind when my siblings were adopted. As you can see I really like other dogs, so a home with another canine sibling will be okay but I could also do just fine being your own and only as I really like pets and attention, I even like the little humans that will pet me, are up to a good game of tug and will throw a ball for me. I really like to be outside playing with the toys and just running around in the grass. I walk well on a leash, I am potty trained and I am crate trained; but I won’t lie, the crate is not my favorite place to be so I will sometimes give you a bit of attitude going in. If you leave the door open for me though and I am tired, I will go in and take a nap on my own. I really do like treats and will work hard for them.

I do get a bit testy when other canines approach my crate when I am eating and my person says this is something you need to know and will still need monitoring and a little work on. If you are human you can reach in and take the food right out of my mouth, I just don’t want to share with any other dogs, they get their own bowl! As you can see I am not perfect in every way, but I am loyal and would really love to be a part of your family to provide endless snuggles, walks, and adventures together. If you think I might be the right boy for you email mrulffes@gmail.com with any questions you have. Can’t wait to meet you!!!
