Hi, my
name is Snyder and I am at least sixteen "years young."
I am a spry old man but I was in really bad shape when the animal control
officer found me wandering the streets. They contacted my foster mom who
immediately called a friend who lived closer to the shelter, to get me.
I was taken to the vet immediately because my teeth were so bad my mouth
was bleeding. I was treated with antibiotics so I could have a dental.
But, the dental turned out to be more serious. All of my teeth had to be
removed and they found I have a tumor by my left eye at the nasal cavity.
The vet felt that it is cancer and at my age, and where it's located, it's
best to leave it alone. I can at least eat great now since my mouth is
not sore but I snort because of the tumor on my nose. I am happy
and I love to go out in the yard and roam around and smell the great smells.
I love my other "brothers and sisters," even the cats. I am house broken
and I will either go outside or to a puppy pad, whichever you prefer. I
love to sleep in the big bed with my foster parents and cuddle under the
covers to be warm and cozy. I may be old and my health may not be perfect,
but my foster mom says I have more spunk than some young whipper snappers.
I love a squeaky toys and really love to get my tummy rubbed. I am so happy
to be saved and in a home that loves me and while I may not have much longer,
I am very much loved, warm, happy and content. I am not wandering the streets
anymore and I am not in pain, I always have a fully tummy and am getting
more love than I have ever had. If you could be my buddy to help CCDR for
their kindness in caring for me, I will be so happy and, when my time comes
to say goodbye, which hopefully is a long time from now, I will be
sure to meet you at the bridge to play with you and love you as you loved
me. Thank you so much with my wagging tail! Snyder
