Trooper the puppy

In September, 2020, IFAW’s Disaster Response team deployed to California to help rescue and care for animals impacted by the North Complex Fire. During an animal search and rescue assignment, a young puppy was rescued after he was found hiding underneath a car near a burned house. He had terrible burns all over his face and was in need of emergency veterinary care. His rescuers rushed him to a local vet clinic that specialized in burns and provided him with the care he needed. In honor of his perseverance, the dog was named “Trooper.” The woman who rescued Trooper is currently fostering him and has plans to train him in search and rescue so he can help other animals in future disasters.
