Hi, I’m TROOPER
This handsome tripaw chap is a bit of a mascot for Lincs Dobermann Rescue, no wonder, he is a true trooper. He had a really rough start in life. At age 10 weeks, he came to our rescue with deformed legs caused through poor diet and over exercise.
He went directly into the care of one of our trustees, where he received the medical care he needed. No expense was spared to try and save his front legs. The prognosis for the left was poor and the right was so severely deformed that it wasn’t operable and euthanasia was suggested. The decision was taken to have the right leg amputated and give the pup a chance.
He has remained with the trustee who continues to meet his medical needs, with weekly hydrotherapy trips and regular veterinary check-ups to monitor if the additional stress put on his remaining limbs is generating any further issues.
He is such a character, nothing stops him, except the ‘face-planting’ when he’s playing chase. He enjoys group training classes, annoying his doggy girlfriends and often steals his human’s phone so he can communicate with all his Facebook fans.
