Trooper, a dog whose heart-wrenching tale of abandonment in Florida just before Hurricane Milton touched many lives, has finally found a loving home with Frank, Carla, and their dog Dallas. Welcomed with open arms, Trooper's journey through adversity has reached a heartwarming conclusion filled with hope.
The Leon County Humane Society shared on Facebook that there was an undeniable bond from the first meeting between Trooper and his new family. "Trooper, usually apprehensive during other visits, appeared calm and at ease with Frank and Carla," the post emphasized.
Trooper eagerly accepted the toy offered to him, sought affection, and radiated infectious joy. The encounter with Dallas, a seven-year-old miniature bull terrier, was equally touching. Following the recent loss of Diesel, another beloved family pet, Carla and Frank hoped Trooper could fill the void in their hearts. Upon their initial meeting, Trooper and Dallas formed an immediate bond: "Their tails wagged so energetically, it seemed like they might take off," the organization recounted.
Everything was set up in Trooper's new home to make him feel comfortable and cherished. His new family, experienced in caring for dogs, collaborates with professional trainers and is devoted to providing him with the love and patience he deserves. Within hours of arriving, Trooper was already lounging on the sofa, enjoying his fresh start.
The Leon County Humane Society received numerous adoption inquiries for Trooper, who had become quite famous due to his ordeal. However, after a meticulous selection process, the organization is convinced that Frank and Carla are the perfect match for him. Now happily settled with his new family, Trooper stands as a beacon of hope and love for animals in need.
Giovanny Aldama García, Trooper's former owner who left him tied to a post along Interstate 75 in Tampa, has been apprehended and faces charges of aggravated animal cruelty.
