U.C.H.S. Trooper's Fund

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
