The rescue center named him Trooper and they do not know how long he has been cemented to the sidewalk off Yamato Road. Thankfully, they had gotten to him in time to save him.

It took them hours to groom him with Keto shampoo baths as he had numerous fecal and urine burns.

The shelter shared that when they shaved the 10-year-old canine, he had maggots “crawling from his fur,” overgrown nails, and terrible dental decay. He was severely neglected.

It is heartbreaking to know what the poor dog went through.

“Trooper” was diagnosed with 22 ailments that included corneal ulcers, worms, enlarged prostate, ear infections, UTI, heart murmurs, and paralysis.

His medical expenses have already reached $2,500 but good-hearted people have already donated more than $17,000 for his healing. Specialists are helping him walk again.

The shelter has been updating followers on Trooper’s progress and last Sunday, they had incredible good news.  They shared on Instagram a video of Trooper standing with assistance. The shelter captioned it: “Getting stronger every day with all of your support!”

We’re praying for you, Trooper!
