Snuffy
He has made an amazing recovery and is living the lap of luxury in his forever home with his mom, Pat. Pat adopted Snuggy (she found this name more suitable for him.) in December 2009. Pat shares her thoughts and feelings about this wonderful rescue dog.
“I adopted Snuffy in December 2009 and he has made wonderful progress in the last several months he has lived in his new home. When he first came to live with my Mom and I, he was very afraid which I understood given his horrible life prior to being rescued by Pet Guardians. He was so afraid of every noise and wanted to hide all of the time. I spent time every day sitting by him, petting him, talking to him and started reading a book to him. He seemed very comfortable in my walk-in closet in my bedroom, so I put his bed and pillow in there. One night I was lying on the floor with him and was reading to him and he came up to me, put his head on my shoulder and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I was so excited and can’t tell you how much that meant to me. It was almost like a turning point for both Snuffy and I.
When I come home each evening from work, Snuffy now runs to the door to greet me and he is just as excited to see me as I am to see him. He is starting to come out of his shell more and more each day. He loves playing with his toys and is so excited when I bring a new toy home for him. He loves going for rides in the car. With time he has started to overcome many of his fears. He just completed a training class with Jamie Kelly and he did very well.
Snuffy is just the sweetest little guy and I am so glad that he found a forever home with my Mom and I. I think he now knows that we love him and he will always be taken care of him. I am so happy that Pet Guardians rescued him from such a horrible situation and that he has such a great life now. It brought tears to my eyes when I read his story and saw pictures of him when he was first rescued. Now you cannot tell he was that same dog. Now he is just such a handsome boy!”
