We do well for for the dogs with @happydoggothai but when they get to their new homes they go to another level.
She used to enjoy walks with me but now she is bouncing around in a whole new way. She knows she is home ❤️
This is Sergeant Snuggles.
He’s a young Anatolian Shepherd from a family in Tucson. For almost eight months now he’s been locked up at Pima Animal Care Center, facing euthanasia over one bite on their own property.
It happened when he was stressed out and a family member startled him from behind. The grandma who got nipped says it was her fault, she’s not pressing anything, and she wants him home with the kids who miss him like crazy. The family has a big fenced property and they’re ready to follow every rule - training, muzzle, whatever it takes.
Snuggles is a guardian dog doing what the breed does. He’s not some vicious animal. Videos show he’s sweet with people. But the shelter and courts are pushing to put him down anyway.
This hits different when you see the little boys waiting for their dog. If you can, share this or call the folks in charge and ask them to let the family take him back under dangerous dog rules. Big thanks to @jenniferevn22 for fighting so hard for him.

If this order isn’t signed today, Lucy will spend at least another day in a cell.
I spend yet another day in a courtroom. My sons will miss the final day of VBS - the one everyone has been looking forward to, with sprinklers, slip-and-slides, and squirt guns. And I won’t be able to attend my daughter’s ballet recital.
This is a great deal of unnecessary hardship, especially since I’ve already signed the deal. Yet this entire ordeal - nearly two months now - has caused far too much avoidable suffering over an innocent incident that took place in my own yard and was over in seconds.
I don’t blame malice. I blame procedural quirks, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and an overly heavy-handed government.
It’s no wonder C.S. Lewis imagined the demon Screwtape disguised as a senior bureaucrat and Hell as a mundane, if gruesome, administrative system.
