Trooper, a recent rescue and foster dog, also attended the event with his owner, Mia Behm.
Trooper was brought into Animal Medical Center in Midland last October after his owner chained him to a tractor and pulled him down a paved country road. He was heartworm positive, extremely emaciated, and his paw pads were raw.

“He had to stay at the Medical Center for two weeks,” Behm explained. “Then he went into foster and was adopted.”
Trooper has made a full recovery and is a great example of the work that Midland County Pit Stop provides to animals in need in the community.
