Maryland trooper gives pup slated to be put down a new leash on life

Rockville, MD – Trooper Josh Quase, serving at the Rockville Barrack, has recently opened his heart and home to Lola, a 12-year-old golden retriever. Lola’s heart-wrenching journey began when her original owner decided to abandon her at a clinic, seeking to have her euthanized simply because they no longer wanted the dog.

In a heartwarming turn of events, Trooper Quase learned about Lola’s plight and stepped forward to give her a second chance at a loving home. After connecting with the Bedford County Humane Society, Trooper Quase officially adopted Lola, transforming both of their lives in the process.
