Update on SnuSnu... (aka Rescue Juice 102)

Time for that magic dose of Rescue Juice that keeps us rescuers going... The moments that tug at our heart strings and regenerates us to keep on fighting the valiant fight for No-Kill in our county... We took an old timer named SnuSnu and having seen our vet, opted to find him a long term foster instead of euthanizing him... So I put out a special plea... 

A kind-hearted Sim Valley resident, Cindi, stepped up and offered to foster SnuSnu... This morning, she came into the rescue shop at Simi Valley Town Center before we opened and met SnuSnu in person... 

The TLC volunteers on shift all have been gushing about the unbelievable interaction between SnuSnu and Cindi this morning... 

And these are folks that have a LOT of hands on experience with dogs... Volunteers who have seen a ton of human interactions and the exchange between dogs and unfamiliar humans they have just met...   

SnuSnu absolutely MELTED into Cindi - the first time we have seen that since we pulled him out of Camarillo shelter... SnuSnu absolutely curled into her body and was truly happy, happy, happy!

THIS is the stuff 'Rescue Juice' is made of... When we save a dog's life and see we made the right decision...

Thank you, Cindi, for opening up your heart and home for this precious little guy!

Special plea for SnuSnu...

We are in need for a long-term foster (or even better - adopter) for a very special old guy... 

His name is SnuSnu and he just came back from seeing our vet... SnuSnu has a heart murmur and needs to take meds daily... He is 16 (and not 12 as we though), but there is still a LOT of healthy loving and life left in this old guy...

Pretty much deaf, he sees like looking through a shower curtain in his left eye - but none of these reasons are reasons we believe he should be euthanized...

I myself have two old timers that are just about the same at my house and they are not trouble at all...  They send time sleeping most of the day and night, get their treats and cuddles like everyone else..

But I cannot foster another old timer and have found that allowing nature to live out its life is a very rewarding passion - so I am offering it to others to enjoy as I do...

What SnuSnu needs is someone with a serene and slow paced life style...

Someone who will love and care for him because they themselves care about raising the quality of life and lowering the kill rates of unwanted and homeless pets in Ventura County...

SnuSnu is small (less than 5 pounds) and is very content to hang out in his bed most of the day, trotting out when he needs to go potty - in other words, this is NOT a dog that requires a 5 mile walk every day!  This is not a high-maintenance challenge for anyone - this is just a nice dog whose owner chose to surrender him to the shelter system... If we all did this, our human species would all be exterminated at the age of 55... Which is about SnuSnu's years in human time...

SnuSnu will be very content just to be hanging out with a human that has a low energy style like his own... He won't care what channel on the cable you watch nor will he argue with the kind of food you choose to eat nor the hours you keep... So some of us, this could be a 'dream-come-true' kind of dog, ya know?
