Upper Credit is has established Trooper's Fund, named after one of
the saddest dogs to come into our shelter. Trooper was picked up
as a stray. His sad state and thin body made officers concerned
for his life and he was rushed immediately to our Vet. Our vet
has been practicing for some time and yet she had never before
seen a dog as thin as this guy. A lab mix, he was named Trooper
as we decided that he was a fighter, and would survive under our
care. He was an excruciating 35 lbs and had probably been
wandering for weeks. Trooper spent some time with our Vet before
he was strong enough to be adopted.
Because of animals like Trooper and the many
other special needs animals that come into our shelter, we have
established a fund in Trooper's name that will allow us to
provide the extensive medical care that goes into rehabilitating
and healing these animals. Many animals we have require dental
surgery, X-rays, orthopaedic surgery, or other expensive medical
procedures that without the help of kind people, we would be
unable to perform. To donate to Trooper's fund, please call the
shelter. We can accept personal cheques, Visa, Debit or Cash.
Please make cheques out to Upper Credit Humane Society, and
indicate in the memo that your donation is to go to Trooper's
Fund.
We thank you so much in advance for your support. Animals
like Trooper will be able to live long healthy lives because of
your kind donations. See an
update on Trooper and other pets adopted by the shelter
