Look who’s happy now. | Leon County Humane Society

A story that a little over month ago spawned so much sadness and anger … finally got a happy ending.

Trooper, the 5-year-old bull terrier that was found in October helplessly tied to a post in chest-deep water as Hurricane Milton approached Florida, has found his fur-ever home. Hundreds of people had applied to adopt Trooper, but in the end, a couple with more than 33 years of bull terrier experience was awarded custody. Despite some fear of men because of past trauma, Trooper warmed right up to the Spinas and even has a new sister, Dallas. 

Thinking back, I honestly don’t believe there has been a second I have been alive that I haven’t had a pet. And if I was forced to leave my home to go somewhere else, you best believe they would be coming along one way or another. But cheers to Trooper. In the end, he’s in a far better situation with far better people.
