🚨DEATH SHOULD NOT BE THE ONLY OPTION FOR #SAVESNUGGLES.
I keep coming back to one simple question:
Why is death the only option?
Snuggles is a 2-year-old family dog. His dad is a military veteran, and he has a mom and two small kids waiting at home for him.
He has now spent nearly 8 months sitting in a shelter kennel while his family fights to save his life.
Yet the government continues to pursue euthanasia.
No matter where you stand on this case, we should all be asking whether other options were ever seriously considered, like a secure harness, a muzzle when needed, stronger fencing, additional containment, behavioral management, and supervised handling.
There are ways to protect the public without killing Snuggles.
Please respectfully contact Pima County officials and ask them to explore alternatives.

Another huge thank you.
I was truly amazed by the big names who shared Lucy’s story. The #SaveLucy campaign grew into something far bigger than I ever imagined.
My first special thanks goes to @buckleycarlson. Buck, when you called me personally to talk about my dog, I could tell right away that the ground had shifted. Thank you, my friend.
@catturd2, you posted Lucy’s story multiple times and even gave us a shoutout on your show with
@JewelsJonesLive. That moment meant the world to us.
@seanhannity, going on your show - twice! - was one of the greatest honors of my life.
@SaraGonzalesTX, your support has been incredible, especially the way you championed my wife @Herb_Minstrel’s business. We needed every bit of help to cover legal fees and the income we lost while my focus was on this fight. Your help made a real difference.
@TomiLahren, when you looked into the camera and told a national audience in prime time, “We’re going to bring Lucy home,” that was the single greatest moment of the entire campaign for me. I’ll never forget it.
To everyone else who had us on their show, podcast, or shared Lucy’s story, including Curt Schilling (@gehrig38), Martina Navratilova (@Martina), Juanita Broaddrick (@atensnut), @KennedyNation, @LauraLoomer, @Milajoy, @realJennaEllis, and so many others - thank you. Seeing your names attached to this fight still gives me chills.
To all of you: thank you. My family is whole, in part because of your attention to us. God bless.
If any of you can find it in your hearts to support the fight to #SaveSnuggles, I would greatly appreciate it.
Dear Laura Conover (@PimaCountyAtty),
My name is Brendan Jones, and this is Lucy. Ten years ago, Lucy saved my life during the war against ISIS. In return, I brought her home with me. While you may not be familiar with her story, millions of people around the world are.
We are writing to you today out of deep concern for a case in Pima County involving a family dog named Snuggles. Snuggles, an Anatolian Shepherd, has been placed on a court-ordered euthanasia list following an incident in which he bit a family member. At the time, the dog was agitated and acting to defend his home and family during a coyote incursion on the property. The entire family, including the individual who was bitten, is devastated by the possibility of losing him.
Snuggles is a large working breed traditionally used as a livestock guardian. At the time of the incident, he was an intact male who had not yet reached the appropriate age for neutering. I have personal experience with this breed, having used Anatolian Shepherds to protect my own flocks of sheep. It is well established that neutering intact males of this breed often produces a noticeable and positive change in temperament, reducing reactivity and certain aggressive behaviors.
Snuggles has now reached an age where neutering is both appropriate and recommended. I am confident that, once neutered, any concerns about future aggression would be substantially alleviated.
Before we consider raising additional public awareness about this case, we wanted to bring it directly to your attention in the hope that a reasonable resolution can be reached quietly and without unnecessary scrutiny. We respectfully ask that you personally review the matter. We believe common sense and compassion can still prevail here.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Very respectfully,
Brendan Jones and Lucy, “America’s Dog”

Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump’s hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. They have not found a crime - they are simply trying to find one.
He isn't coming after me because of mean tweets, but because I am considering running for President.
He hates that I consistently call him out. He is simply the most corrupt President in American history.
We have nothing to hide.
Mr. President, come after me. I am not going anywhere.
The country is watching.

“POTUS had undoubtably gotten away with the same sort of crime many times before; Carroll’s bravery in standing up to him and seeking justice, even decades later, is why he is so determined to use the DOJ to seek retribution.
When Trump had a teenaged Ivanka give him lap dances in front of the production crew on ‘Miss Teen USA’ pageants and in front of guests at Mar-a-Lago during a Beach Boys concert, he wore the same audacious, predatory smile.
Trump gets off on doing the unthinkable in plain sight. Now he is doing that on the world stage. His predator instincts are being melded with a new American Imperialism under the surreal ‘Donroe Doctrine’ his administration is carrying out.
I have no doubt Cuba is next on the list. It worries me deeply as I believe Trump will view that long suffering island and its people as a place for his plundering and proclivities to reach a pinnacle in our hemisphere.
Can you imagine the abuses and self-dealing of a Trump Hotel and Casino project in Havana? One perhaps overseen by his execrable sons and their South Florida gangster pals?
It will make the worst outrages of the Batista regime and the Mob playground of Havana’s ‘heyday’ seem like child’s play: we must be cognizant of the danger at hand if an invasion is launched in the coming days and weeks.
Any claims of a peace deal with Iran should be viewed with a wide angle taking this into account. Trump may not so much be ending that war as he is gearing up to start another one. The recent revelations regarding his administration’s Epstein files coverup and his outsized role in the sex-trafficker’s crimes will only fuel this insane trajectory.
We must not allow him to keep plundering and pillaging everything he perceives as in his rightful purview. One look at the man tells you he is a monster. Where there is smoke, there is fire - around DJT, an inferno is blazing.” https://t.co/6BEIyohNPE
