About Trooper
Here's a classic for you: what's black and white and cute all over? Trooper, of course. Trooper is a charming 6-year-old small mixed-breed, part Shih Tzu, part Bichon Frise, sporting a memorable underbite that matches his sweet personality. He's a blend of cuddle buddy and little explorer, often trailing his people from room to room before flopping on his favorite bed or crate when it’s time to recharge. Trooper loves sniff-filled walks, will chase after soft toys, and is easygoing in the car. Trips to the groomer or vet are handled like a pro. He listens well—knows his name, comes when called indoors, and waits his turn for treats. While he can be timid with new faces and might keep his distance or bark until he feels comfortable, he always comes around with patience. Thunderstorms and other loud noises give him pause. Trooper is house trained but still perfecting consistency, so he’ll do best with someone who can stick to a routine and support him through the process. He's working on leash skills and will win you over with his sweet face, whether he's leading the way or hoping for a carry. Trooper thrives in a calm home where his adopters are patient and celebrate his little victories. As a February 13th pup, Trooper is an Aquarius—free-spirited and a bit quirky, just like you'd expect. He gets along with dogs, cats, and children, making him a versatile addition to most households.
