About Trooper

Meet Trooper! This lively little guy is a 6-month-old small mixed-breed puppy with a heart as big as his name. His journey began on the streets of Louisiana, where overcrowded shelters left many homeless animals like him without options. Fortunately, kind-hearted finders rescued Trooper just in time. Initially, he faced a tough battle against a non-contagious form of demodectic mange, fleas, and intestinal worms, which led to irritated skin with scabs and open wounds. Despite it all, Trooper's spirit remains unbroken. With proper veterinary care and a lot of love, he’s on the mend, and his playful personality shines brighter every day. Trooper could thrive in any living situation, whether in an apartment or a house. He absolutely adores canine companionship and would benefit from having a playful dog sibling to join his wrestling matches. He's also dog-friendly, cat-friendly, and great with kids, making him a fantastic fit for various family dynamics. As a young pup, Trooper is still learning, working on his potty training, and improving his leash manners. His adoption fee includes his neuter, continued treatment for demodectic mange, heartworm test, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccinations. After such a rough start, Trooper is ready for a loving family that will show him what it means to be truly cherished. Could that family be yours?
