Meet Snooka

The four-month-old puppy was attacked and dragged by a stray dog, which resulted in a fractured leg. His owner made the heartbreaking decision to surrender him to RezDawg Rescue so he could get the care he needed.

Snooka was brought to a veterinary hospital to be treated. His left hind leg was fractured, and he needed surgery and a stabilizing rod.

A week after surgery, he was still unable to put weight on his leg and was seen by an orthopedic surgeon in Denver, Colorado, who needs to perform another surgery to remove the rod.

Snooka needs our help to run and play again. Greater Good Charities' Emergency Animal Medical fund is helping with his ongoing medical bills but needs your support. 

The muscles in the injured leg have atrophied due to lack of use and his foster family will have to perform daily stretches three times a day.

This little fella loves to snuggle and play with toys. He is expected to make a full recovery and will quickly find a loving home.

Pets receiving critical care facilitated by an Emergency Animal Medical grant may not be eligible for adoption until they have completed their course of treatment. If you would like to inquire about adoption of a specific animal, we strongly encourage you to visit the shelter’s specific website first as that is often the most up to date place to learn about available pets and review the adoption policies and process.

Help us meet our goal of $4,000 for Snooka and pets like him. Your gift will not only give him the hope to keep fighting, but your donations will help cover his ongoing care.
