My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

 Meet Trapper John – Your Loyal Adventure Buddy 

Trapper John is a 7-year-old Shepherd/Retriever mix with a big heart and a love for the simple joys in life. He’s looking for a child-free home where he can be your best friend and partner in fun.

✨ About Trapper John:

  • Age: 7 years

  • Favorite Activities: Chasing a frisbee, chewing on bones or sticks, backyard squirrel patrol, and soaking up pets.

  • Personality: Loyal, food-motivated, and loves spending time with his person.

  • Dog Skills: Can do well with other dogs after a slow, proper introduction.

  • Training Tip: Will happily work for treats and is eager to please!

 Needs:
Trapper John should not live with children. We’re seeking an adult-only home where he can thrive safely.

 Perfect Home:
A fenced yard for squirrel-watching and frisbee, a patient adopter to give him structure, and plenty of time for play and companionship.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will keep you smiling and make every backyard adventure more exciting, Trapper John might just be your guy.
