This helps Rocky Mountain Puppy Rescue with pet care costs.
Trooper is a young, curious pup who’s growing more confident every day. He’s playful, alert, and still has that adorable “clonk out after playtime” stage, though he can stay awake longer now and explore more of his world.
Personality:
Trooper’s personality is blossoming — he’s observant, sweet, and likes staying close to his people. He’s still getting used to being held. Sometimes he settles in easily; other times he’d rather just be nearby. Even so, he consistently seeks out his people for reassurance and will follow them around before curling up at their feet.
Trooper enjoys watching the other foster dogs play and joins in when he feels comfortable. He has a silly side too — he loves carrying blankets around the house and will often relocate his crate blankets to new “chosen” spots. His favorite toys are anything crinkly, and he’s recently started showing interest in chewing on bones.
He’s playful and energetic when he’s awake, and when he’s done, he settles into one of his favorite nap spots and falls asleep. He’s developing good play habits and shows great potential as he grows.
Training:
House-training is in the very early stages, which is normal for a young puppy. He is slowly learning to go outside. He will go into his crate at night to sleep, but because he is young, he still needs to potty during the night — if carried out, he will go.
Like most young puppies, Trooper is still learning appropriate manners and will benefit from continued gentle training as he grows.
Trooper has also been introduced to a leash and harness. He tolerates them once they’re on, but he isn’t quite ready for real walks yet.
What He Needs:
A patient family who understands young puppies and can continue guiding him with gentle structure and consistency. With love and routine, Trooper will grow into a confident, affectionate companion.
