Under The Spotlight
In early May, Trooper was found severely malnourished and dehydrated, abandoned on the side of the road after a life of serious neglect. After a little over month of rehabilitation at NCAL, Trooper was ready to be placed in a foster home where he could continue to gain strength and learn how to be out in the world and interact with new people and environments. His foster family quickly fell in love with Trooper and were happy to become his forever family! Trooper was adopted on June 22nd, and is now thriving in his new life, surrounded by loving family members and friends! NCAL is extremely grateful to everyone who supported Trooper’s care and cheered him on as he made progress. Thank you for helping us show Trooper that there is love in the world and he deserves all the love his heart can hold!
