My story

Troy is a smart, funny, enjoyable dog. He is a quick-thinker and very playful and energetic. He somehow plays to the audience while on the leash and is a show-stopper. Handsome and confident, with an engaging smile and a variety of expressive ear positions! #charisma   Troy takes treats carefully but firmly :) and his eyes are continually dancing as he is very happy to meet (and impress) new friends. He is irresistible and needs a breed-savvy guardian who'll guide him to reach his very best potential. May excel at not only obedience but agility?   Troy plays well with his similar-sized herding breed dog friends. His relaxed confidence has helped to encourage shy new dogs to join in the fun. Troy seeks a home with a well-adjusted female dog who will welcome his presence. He is absolutely not threatening, but for some reason ? the male dogs in prospective homes have felt it necessary to immediately attempt to dominate Troy and he simply doesn't deserve that. He is a get-along type guy!   Troy will be placed in the Phoenix metro area, for proximity to our rescue (home checks, follow up visits, visit to finalize adoption) and for access to our veterinarian. Our adoptions begin with a Foster-To-Adopt period, which is not feasible with remote placements. If you believe you're a possible match based on the detailed profile posted on our website,  please complete our online adoption application. Discussion about a dog, including scheduling a home check, can't occur until we have received your complete adoption application. Thank you!   https://betterdaysrescue.org/adopt.html   October 5, 2025, 8:31 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt TROY, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
