Let’s give a warm welcome to the magnificent Trooper, often mistaken for a cuddly polar bear in a Golden Retriever suit! 🐻🐾 This delightful 4-year-old gentle giant weighs in at a fantastic 100 pounds of pure love and affection. Imagine a big, warm hug wrapped in golden fur—that's Trooper! He came to us from a shelter and has truly blossomed in his foster home, showering his foster mom with all the love a dog can offer. He’s mastered some great skills with the help of a trainer, especially walking on a leash (just be sure to give a good grip; this boy means business when he spots a squirrel, cat, or bunny!). 🐿️🐰 Yes, Trooper does have a bit of a prey drive, so he will need a cat-free home to keep the peace. While he’s a devoted love bug, Trooper prefers being the only dog in the household. But guess what? He’s all the companionship you’ll ever need! Loyal, loving, and bursting with heart, he thrives in calm environments and would be happiest in a serene home without children or a bustling crowd. Once he warms up to new faces, you’ll find that he’s the very best friend you could ever wish for. 🥰 Trooper is on the hunt for his forever family—a peaceful abode where he can enjoy the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. This sweet boy dreams of being a walking buddy during the day and a cozy lounge partner by night. ❤️🏡 Trooper is ready to stretch out in comfort knowing he is finally home. Adoption is available through GRCGLARescue in the counties of Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego. Due to the pre-adoption screening and post-adoption follow-up, adoptions outside of this area simply aren’t possible. If Trooper has captured your heart, make sure to *apply to adopt him through the Buddy App* today, because he can't wait to start this beautiful journey with you! 🌟
