My story

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

Location: Danville, KY

Hi Friends!!
My name is Trooper, well because I am a determined carefree live life kind of guy so everyone tells me I am a real trooper. Not sure what that means actually, but I like it and as you will see I know its my name when called! I am a young boy at only about one year old. 

I know, you are pausing while watching my video thinking I am missing something right???? Yup, I only have three legs, but it does not slow me down, in fact my person says it makes me much more fun! I was born with a short leg and the doctors said it wasn’t really ever going to work for me and it was slowing down my mobility a bit so they decided I might be better with just three! 

I had a rough start in life as I was part of a litter living not so ideal conditions in WV and I was the odd man out so I was left behind when my siblings were adopted. As you can see I really like other dogs, so a home with another canine sibling will be okay but I could also do just fine being your own and only as I really like pets and attention, I even like the little humans that will pet me, are up to a good game of tug and will throw a ball for me. I really like to be outside playing with the toys and just running around in the grass. I walk well on a leash, I am potty trained and I am crate trained; but I won’t lie, the crate is not my favorite place to be so I will sometimes give you a bit of attitude going in. If you leave the door open for me though and I am tired, I will go in and take a nap on my own. I really do like treats and will work hard for them. 

I do get a bit testy when other canines approach my crate when I am eating and my person says this is something you need to know and will still need monitoring and a little work on. If you are human you can reach in and take the food right out of my mouth, I just don’t want to share with any other dogs, they get their own bowl! As you can see I am not perfect in every way, but I am loyal and would really love to be a part of your family to provide endless snuggles, walks, and adventures together. If you think I might be the right boy for you email mrulffes@gmail.com with any questions you have. Can’t wait to meet you!!!

Hi all, one of Troopers humans here. He is up to date on vaccines is, neutered and microchipped. He is a really good boy that deserves a family of his own. Trooper has spent a few weeks with a trainer to learn some basic manners who will be happy to chat with you as well to answer any questions you may have. He is currently being fostered in Danville, KY.

More about this rescue

We are an all volunteer group that rescues Australian Cattle Dogs. Our dogs reside in foster homes until they are adopted
Every year, thousands of Australian Cattle Dogs find themselves homeless through no fault of their own. Although the reasons are diverse, the result is the same. Healthy, adoptable dogs face euthanasia in shelters.

The Australian Cattle Dog Rescue Association rescues ACDs in shelters from Maine to Georgia and gives these dogs a fresh start with a loving family. Our foster home volunteers welcome the dogs into their homes where they live as members of the family. During the time in foster care, our volunteers determine what kind of forever home will be the right one for each dog.
