Pima County animal control has had this family dog caged up for eight months over one bite on their own damn property. Sergeant Snuggles is an Anatolian Shepherd. Guardian breed. Doing his job on a three-acre place with coyotes and whatever else wanders through. Young pup got stressed out, startled when grandma tapped him from behind, and nipped once. They call it a level four bite. Grandma’s fine. She’s said from the start it was her fault for spooking him. She wants the dog home with the kids. Begs for it. The family offered training. Extra fencing. Whatever rules they wanted. Hired a behaviorist who said he’s not dangerous. Livestock experts backed the same thing. PACC and the courts didn’t give a shit. Slapped the vicious label on him and locked him down. No real visits. Isolation. Fees stacking past fifteen grand while the kids miss their dog every single day. They fought it in court and got steamrolled at first. New lawyer just came on thanks to people online pushing hard. Appeal’s filed. Waiting on the prosecutor’s response then the judge decides on paper. They’re even asking advocacy groups for amicus briefs to help. The fight’s still alive. This is government overreach plain and simple. Bureaucrats hiding behind rules and codes so they can play God with a loyal dog and break a family’s heart. One startled mistake on private land and they want to kill him while the actual victim pleads for mercy. Cowards. The whole system stinks when it treats a family pet like public enemy number one. Snuggles belongs back home. Running that land with his people instead of rotting in a kennel. Sign the petition. Call and email respectfully to advocate. Demand they release this dog to his family.

SAVE SNUGGLES & FREE SNUGGLES It’s been 8 months since this poor dog was taken from his family at only 9 months old. The courts have ordered for this dog to be euthanized over an incident that happened to a family member when the dog was still in puppy stage. The family member doesn’t want Snuggles to be euthanized. So sad this happens in America! Snuggles needs to be reunited back with his family. #SaveSnuggles
