About Park Ranger Trout

Meet Park Ranger Trout, a medium-sized, curly-coated Poodle mix with a blue merle pattern. Trout came into rescue in rough shape after being found in the Cooper Rock State Forest, but since then, he’s blossomed with plenty of care and grooming. He’s about 1-2 years old and weighs around 50 pounds. After everything he’s been through, Trout is still gentle and eager to bond. He’s a dog who thrives around other friendly dogs and does well with cats too. He’s kennel trained, making overnight routines easier, and is still working on leash manners and potty training, so patience is important. Trout can be nervous around new people and situations, and he’s on medication to help manage his anxiety as he builds confidence. He needs someone understanding who can offer reassurance and steady training. Trout is neutered and current on core vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed, and protected against fleas and ticks. What he needs most is a home that can give him time, stability, and love. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
