Roop said she saw Ice T while seeing WSLS 10 when he was included on Aug. 3.
When she saw him, she understood she required him.
“I loved him when I saw him on the TV,” said Roop. “I wanted him to have a home, he deserved a home. He’s so pretty, he’s so sweet.”
Since bringing him home, they have actually been inseparable — an ideal match.
“He ain’t been the first minute’s struggle,” said Roop. “Except he’s a little big, sometimes he knocks stuff off the tables.”
She said she hopes Ice T will be around for a very long time.
“Well, I do believe he is a healthy puppy, and I think he’s going to be with me maybe longer than I am.”
She likewise said he is even making his keep.
“He has got rid of the [raccoons]I ain’t seen a [raccoon] since he got here,” said Roop. “He’s doing what he is supposed to do.”
Roop is not the only one thrilled about Ice T getting a permanently home.
Eileen Mahan, director at the Montgomery County Animal Care and Adoption Center said when they learnt Ice T was getting embraced, the whole team was cheering.
“It was a party, everyone was just like ‘Oh my gosh, Ice is getting adopted! Ice is getting adopted!’” said Mahan.
There are lots of animals still at the Montgomery County Care and Adoption Center. If you wish to get in, all you need to do is call 540-382-5795 or go to and speak to a team member.
