Under The Spotlight
Tro
oper is on the mend and finding love one week after being rescued from the brink of death. This sweet boy was found severely malnourished and dehydrated, abandoned on the side of the road after a life of serious neglect. Trooper is now safe in our care, receiving medical attention, nourishment and TLC. We are so grateful for the outpouring of support we have received for Trooper’s care. Want to help Trooper and other homeless animals at our shelter who need specialized attention? Any donations that exceed the resources needed for Trooper’s care will go directly into the NCAL Medical Fund. We rely on this fund to help hundreds of homeless animals every year who, like Trooper, need medical attention that surpasses our budget for routine-care.
