Trooper von Trulben is a stunning 2 year old German Shepherd.  Trooper is an engaging, active and curious "big puppy." Like many shepherds he has multiple facets. He loves to have fun and play, including with other dogs. We laugh when he goes to the toy box and selects a toy, tosses it around, then goes back for another. He is friendly and sweet with all of us at the rescue, he loves attention and leans in for pets. In a home setting he's shown some protective shepherd tendencies. For that reason, and because he prefers to dine alone, he is looking for an adult home with shepherd experience. He needs some guidance and structure and likes to keep busy; he needs a good-sized yard and active lifestyle. Another playful dog would be great, as this boy runs happily into the play yard to greet other dogs and soon invites a play romp. He's also great around dogs on walks. While he's not for cats, he has done well meeting a small dog. Trooper is a smart dog, he knows his Sit and Down commands, rides well in a car and is housebroken with access outside. With Trooper by your side, you'll always have beauty, smarts and a dynamic presence to accompany you everywhere you go.

Rescued from the Kern County animal shelter. Weight: 86 lbs
