The Upper Credit Humane Society’s Trooper’s Fund was founded in the name of Trooper the lab cross who touched the hearts of so many as he battled his way back from 35 lbs and near starvation to living life to the fullest in the very happiest of homes.
An Animal Control Officer discovered a dog that was skin and bones, weighing less than 35 pounds, barely able to stand and close to death. The Officer was appalled by the dogs’ condition. She gently wrapped blankets around him, lifting him into her car, to transport him to a local vet. Whimpering the entire car ride, Trooper lay his head on her lap. After examination, the following days were crucial to his recovery.
This little hobo had a gentle spirit, and a love for humans/animals. He fought hard, and after many weeks at the vet, his rescuer adopted him. Trooper learned to walk again, swim, and his weight rocketed to 60 pounds.
Trooper lived a long, happy life, with his family, and he even had a canine companion, Deena.
