My story

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

Dog Day Out Report:

Today I: met a new friend who took me for a drive and a walk and a visit to Petfood Express! I was excited to go out but was still patient about getting my harness and collar on. I loved sniffing out the window during our car ride and making friends with the people in neighboring cars at stop lights. I enjoyed getting to sniff all the smells at the park and showing off my tricks (sit, shake, down) for treats. I got lots of compliments about what a beautiful and good boy I am. Then we went to petfood express and there were so many new smells (and treats!). Finally, we got a pup cup to end the morning, delish!

Three Words to Describe Me are: Happy, Attentive, Affectionate
Notes from My Walker: Trooper is a sweetheart who loves all people. He was excited to get out but was very patient about getting his harness on and adjusted. He had no problem hopping in the car and liked to sit in the back and sniff out the window as we drove. I saw more than one person smiling at him at stoplights and he also got some compliments from a neighboring car at a red light. He walks good on leash with minimal pulling, he tends to walk at the extent of the leash but not pull. He does have a back foot injury and he slows down when it starts to bother him. It also bothers him to walk on gravel, mulch, and rough pavement (starts hopping) so we mostly stuck to soft grass and smooth sidewalk which seemed fine. He is very attentive to his walker and checks in frequently. He loves treats and is happy to show off his tricks for any. He was non-reactive to other dogs, people, bikes, and cars and just happy to keep walking. He is very sweet and affectionate and happy to get pets during breaks.

Additional notes: Trooper is a approx 5yo MI lab/ pit mix presented to the shelter with a degloving injury to his RPL paw. He has fractures along digits 2-4 requiring ongoing splint/ bandage changes. Due to the frequency of his bandage changes and his projected time to heal (at least 8 weeks), high need for rescue. SMUI
