Thank you so much for being Santa to one of our many Super Snooties.
Super Snooty forever fosters are dogs in our program who have extensive medical or special needs, are hospice, or are extreme seniors (15 and over). We prefer to consider their “special needs”, superpowers instead, as they inspire us and save us on a daily basis. They live inside an SGDR foster home for the entirety of their lives and we cover all of their medical and supply needs for that lifetime. These dogs on average, AFTER initial surgeries and treatments (which can range anywhere from $1500 to $8000), cost us approximately $1000 each to care for yearly, while providing the best vet care, excellent nutrition, medications/preventatives, and supplements. We generally have around 25-30 Super Snooties in our program at any given time. This is the part of our rescue that we are the most proud of and obviously, the part that requires the most money to fund.
There are so many amazing Super Snooties, we know you will find one whose story connects with you!

Percy is a 4.5yr year old incontinent paralyzed Schnoodle. Percy was surrendered to Snooty at 3 month old when he started showing signs of paralyzation. Percy enjoys playing outside chasing Possum, cuddling up at night with his foster Mama.
Pomopposum is a 8.5yr old incontinent Pomeranian that found himself at a local rural shelter at 6 weeks old due to neurological hemi-vertebrae. He has a larger than life personality and loves being outside relaxing by a fire and playing with Percy.
Possum & Percy live in the same foster home and are fantastic friends and playmates, and have many crazy adventures!!

Nimzy was born with a rare spinal cord deformity that has caused paralysis. Nimzy is almost 7 years old and has been in our forever foster program since she was a six week old puppy. Nimzy now resides in Texas with her Foster Mama Sarah and they have big adventures in the Lone Star State!

Nadya came into our program years ago, after months of living as a feral dog in our community. Her forever foster was actually the person who saved her, working tirelessly for months to be able to catch her. It took Nadya such a long time to acclimate to being a “pet”. Because of this and her anxiety, we knew she would remain in our program as a forever foster.

Riley is another one of our paralyzed foster dogs. She was lucky to land in a forever foster home with a foster dad that she wrapped around her paw. They do not allow Riley’s paralysis to keep her from living large. She goes on hikes in her wagon (she hates her wheelchair) and travels a couple of times a year to Miami to vacation with extended family. Riley loves that swimming time!

Laurent was born blind and deaf and found her way to us at the age of one. Adoption never seemed to be in the cards for her and here we are 6 years later and she is still shining bright in her forever foster home. She loves farm life, spending endless hours with her favorite friends and toys…and sunbathing. No one loves to lie in the sun like Laurent Racene!
