I am in tears as I type this. I just went to visit what I call a sure trooper at the vets office in Bolingbrook. He was dumped at my vets office in Romeoville yesterday by a guy that claimed he found the dog and was hit by a car. This so called person was seen and caught on camera by the vets camera literally dragging this dog on his side through the parking lot. He could not walk as his infection is so bad he just laid limp on his side while being dragged. Romeoville police were called and have a copy of the survailance footage. The vet techs told him to hold on while they checked to see if there was a run available, when they returned outside he tied Trooper to the pole and took off. He CLEARLY was used in fighting, bait or both. He is a sweet boy and is just miserable. He licked my hand and looks so sad but I think he knows that rotten life he had is now over. He has a severe infection in he abdomen and the doctor is letting that drain thru tubes. He has numerous holes in him from battle wounds. They think he is about 7-8 yrs old as his teeth show lots of tartar. I dont think this boy could of ever won a fight or even wanted to fight as he is just a sweetheart.
How anyone could do this is beyond me. Thank god for people like us to help these babies. This is the vet that saved Angel, another pitbull that was found by a nice man here in Romeoville. Angel was in the paper and news, she has made a long and hard recovery but now lives a great life with the man that found her. She was infested with maggots and gashes all over her body.
Making a Difference Rescue will be setting up a fund for Trooper to cover his medical expenses. This boy deserves a better life than what he is used to. Once he is stable they will do x-rays and go from there. He is at American Veterinary Hospital at 550 E North Frontage Rd, Bolingbrook, Il 60440, telephone 630-972-0067. If you'd like to donate to the "Trooper Fund" or you can mail donations to Making A Difference Rescue c/o Liz Bagley at 24232 S Cree Dr, Channahan, Il 60410 - Cell: 815-258-5892.
