A Florida dog named Trooper is up for adoption after being rescued during Hurricane Milton. The dog was found tied to a fence and abandoned by its heartless owner.
Trooper, a Bull Terrier, made national headlines when he was saved by a state trooper. The shelter where he’s now staying has been flooded with adoption requests but is not accepting applications yet because Trooper is still recovering from his ordeal.
The former owner has been condemned as cruel and thoughtless. The shelter emphasizes that many other deserving dogs are available for adoption while Trooper remains in foster care.
The shelter says Trooper will have his pick of families, and he deserves the best home possible.
