Trooper's adoption donation is $350 and he is being fostered in Central Ohio.  He has been neutered, microchipped, received his rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms, started on prevention as well as flea prevention and had a dental.  Trooper came into rescue originally as a puppy, was adopted, and then returned due to unforseen circumstances in his adoptive home.  He is one of our special needs dogs as he was born blind.  While he has known nothing different when it comes to sight and manages very well in his normal world, he will have some requirements in his forever home. He does well on housetraining if kept on a schedule and gets along with the foster dogs in his foster home.  Due to his blindness, he is more sensitive to sound and is sometimes reactive if startled so it will be important to make him aware when approaching him. He can also be protective of his person at times so a new home that is skilled in these behaviors will be important. We have found that he prefers women over men so will give preference to a female only home and no children. Trooper is a little shy when meeting new people but once he has gained your trust, he will be your doting companion. While he can tend to get get under foot often, he is a loving cuddler. Trooper does like to play and will engage with other dogs but at times can be a bit bossy. Due to his blindness, he would do better with dogs similar size to him to avoid unintended injury. Trooper does NOT do well with cats. Trooper really enjoys going on walks but also really likes to check out smells. Trooper does engage in a frequent spinning behavior, whether he is happy, nervous, hungry, wants to go outside, etc. He has done this since he was a puppy. He gets nervous in thunderstorms but a thunder shirt and cuddling helps him feel better. Trooper has seasonal allergies and at times requires Benadyl and medication for his eyes due to irritation. Trooper's ideal home will be a quieter home with adults and either no dogs or similar sized dogs. The home should be a ranch or willing to consistently use gates at the stairs. We will also require his forever home to have a strong veterinary history and dog behavior experience.
