Trooper arrived with an open wound on his right rear ankle, heavy callousing on his hocks, and marked skin debris. Radiographs show widespread changes in his lungs, possible heart enlargement, and possible liver enlargement, which raise concern for conditions such as infection including possible blastomycosis, inflammation, age related disease, or other underlying processes. His rear limbs are stiff with signs of joint discomfort. Bloodwork shows mild abnormalities that support concern for a significant medical issue. He has also had diarrhea. His overall condition will require further diagnostics to determine the cause.
Staff report that he is tolerant and easy to handle, with a gentle demeanor and a tendency to walk in circles.
Trooper has a deadline of 5:00 pm on 11/25/25 due to his advanced medical concerns and the level of care he requires.
IACS does not currently have an on site veterinarian. Our limited budget is already exhausted and we are unable to provide advanced diagnostics or ongoing medical care in house.

Indianapolis Animal Care Services, an open-intake municipal shelter, is seeking rescue placement for animals needing alternative outcomes.
All animals listed are at risk of euthanasia, with those on urgent deadlines most at risk due to medical, behavioral, or space concerns. While we aim to honor deadlines, euthanasia may occur sooner if an animal’s condition worsens, or capacity demands it. Our goal is always to provide each animal a chance.
