LEON COUNTY, Fla. (WSVN) – Trooper, the dog rescued by the Florida Highway Patrol just hours before Hurricane Milton made landfall, has found his forever home.
The Leon County Humane Society said the puppy, who attracted attention after being found tied to a fence in a puddle near Interstate 75 in Tampa, has been adopted by Frank and Carla. Bull Terrier, Diesel.
LCHS said Trooper’s transition to his new home was smooth. When he met Frank and Carla, he immediately felt at ease, happily accepted toys and sought affection, LCHS said.
Trooper also quickly bonded with the couple’s beloved dog, Dallas, a 7-year-old rescue bull terrier who was grieving the loss of his longtime companion.
When the trooper and Dallas met, LCHS said, “he was wagging violently with his tail pressed against his forehead.”
According to photos shared by his new family, Trooper was already relaxing on the couch within hours of arriving at his new home.
