Snoopy
Snoopy was rescued on 14th Feb 2020 from the local pound death row – he was so aggressive even the pound staff said to leave him there. We can only imagine the kind of life he had led prior to his capture that would make him so aggressive. He had a rusty chain dangling from his neck so probably spent his life tied up somewhere.

Snoopy's Story
It took Ding the Caretaker six weeks to get Snoopy's chain off, and no one could get anywhere near him until in April 2020 when we took on new shelter assistant Joel.

Within a couple of days he was carrying Snoopy around on his shoulders, although was still aggressive to others. Joel only stayed a couple of months and after he left, Snoopy reverted back to not allowing anyone near him. He had a habit of running at visitors and nipping their legs then running off!
When Doc Riv joined the shelter in May 2020, he said Snoopy needed to be socialised and kept in quarantine until he was more friendly. As soon as we put him in the kennel, he turned into the sweetest boy, wagging his tail and licking us. So we let him out. And he went back to being the same way!
Snoopy with Rudylin
When our new vet assistant Rudylyn came – he took to her the same way he took to Joel and slowly he is getting better – though sometimes out of the blue he will charge at a person, nip them and run off!
We love him dearly though – he is such a character.
He is a healthy dog and has had no illnesses since he came to the Sanctuary. He used to like to try and climb over the fences to get out of the Sanctuary – but since we raised and reinforced the fences, he is forced to stay put!
He has become an elder statesman of the Compound, now preferring other dogs to do his battles for him!

Snoopy got Erlichia this month, which is a bacterial infection caused by ticks. Unfortunately even if we use anti-tick medication on the dogs it doesn’t prevent the ticks from biting – it just prevents them burrowing into their skin.Erlichia can be fatal if untreated and so it’s vital that we catch the signs early, which Click to see post….
