From Wish Bone Canine Rescue

Meet Trooper, a 4-year-old Chihuahua mix weighing 10 pounds. This sweet little guy may need a little time to show you just how much love he has to give. Trooper is a fearful dog who takes time to warm up, but once he trusts you, he becomes a loyal and loving companion who wants nothing more than to be close to his people. Trooper is working on his house-training and will also use potty pads. He tolerates his crate, but if he had it his way, he’d skip the crate altogether and sleep snuggled up with his people in bed. He loves to cuddle, sit in his person’s lap, and burrow under the covers at night. Because Trooper can be fearful, his foster mom believes a home with children 16 years and older would be the best fit for him. He will thrive with someone who understands fearful small dogs and is willing to let him build confidence at his own pace. Going slowly and giving him time to feel safe will be important. Trooper also has a lot to say! He is a frequent barker, so a home without shared walls is a must. A secure, fenced yard is also required because Trooper may run if he becomes frightened. He enjoys spending time in the yard and hanging out with other dogs, but he would be…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
