Full of curiosity, playfulness, and puppy enthusiasm, Trooper is discovering the world one zoomie at a time. Trooper originally came from a breeder and was loved by his senior family, but life took an unexpected turn when his dad sadly passed away. His mom loved him dearly but was simply too frail in age to keep up with the boundless energy of a growing Doberman puppy. After much thought, the family made the difficult but responsible decision to find Trooper a home where he can thrive and grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be. Like most Doberman youngsters, Trooper is smart, playful, and delightfully goofy. He absolutely loves playing with other dogs, but can be fearful of some so will need work on socializing and will happily bounce around the yard inviting everyone to join his puppy party. His personality is affectionate, curious, and full of life. Trooper will need to be immersed in socialization with both people and other dogs as he did not get this in his previous home and many new things are scary to him! The good news? Trooper already has a great start. He is crate trained and learning the basics that will help him become a wonderful companion. With continued structure, training, and plenty of exercise, this handsome boy will grow into an incredible Doberman partner. Trooper will be fully vetted prior to adoption and is ready to find a family that understands the commitment and joy of raising a young Doberman. If you're ready for puppy kisses, Doberman zoomies, and a loyal best friend in the making, Trooper might be your guy.
