Paralyzed plott hound/pit bull mix looking for forever home

Post by earthdog »

Trooper is an amazing about 2-year-old hound/pit mix who was rescued when he was found dragging himself across a field to play with some children. Snooty Giggles took them into their program and got him medical care and neutered. Unfortunately the blunt trauma to his back is too old and his paralysis is not reversible. None of this matters to Troop - he's an incredibly loving and forgiving soul. He is great with other dogs, people and kids. If you're looking for love and inspiration Trooper is your guy. Please see his Petfinder page for more info http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/24915884 He is currently in Nashville, TN but can travel for the right home.

Just checking on Trooper and see there is an adoption pending. The description about him is just wonderful!
"Trooper is an appx 2-3 year old male Plott Hound mix (probably mixed with a bullie breed) who weighs about 50 lbs (without wheels!!!) Trooper came to us after he was discovered dragging himself from the woods in West TN into a nearby yard to play with the children. When we first brought Trooper in we had hoped that there might be something that we could do for him to recover the use of his back legs, but the blunt injury that caused a severe break to his back was just too old. Trooper doesn't care though, you will never meet a dog with more spirit and will!!!! Trooper loves to run and play in his wheels, but the long time he spent fending for himself paralyzed in the woods made him extremely adaptable to his condition!!!! Trooper's dragging techniques are honestly something to be seen!!! Trooper is great with other dogs and loves to wrestle and play....he is a total love bug and enjoys all the attention he can get. He also does well with cats. There is lots of information to be had with Trooper so if you are interested please email us at snootygiggles@gmail.com. His adoption fee is $185 and does include his brand new custom all terrain cart.....he is neutered, up to date on shots, current on preventatives, and microchipped!!!"

I hope there actually is an adoption in the works. Would you please let us know when that happens? By the way, I love the name of your rescue SNOOTYGIGGLES :wub:
