As old people myself, I can attest you are well able & expect to go a while longer until some day you can’t anymore. I suspect somebody got a companion thinking they were good for the dogs lifetime - but a fall or illness or grief came crashing in and a well loved companion was very much needed but the person could no longer do the care. He’s been loved & socialized at the least. I love big dogs, could use one that is strong enough to help me stand but I only have a mini doxie and a chihuahua because I can care for them -so far. Life is what it is, I’m glad he came into rescue but sad not mad that he had to.

Let's not forget obesity is a disease, diseases weaken you. That's why he may appear calm. He's too weak and too exhausted to react. It's a somewhat common method to overfeed or underfeed energetic, hyperactive or reactive dogs to weaken them and make them calmer. I'm sure the behavoiral issues will show up eventually - especially once he looses that weight.

His coat doesn’t seem like any doodle….no curls, no softness. It almost seemed kind of wirey, like many terriers, even though his body is more like a Lab, though that tail doesn’t look like that of a Lab. My own Aussies aren’t fans of getting their nails or Grinch Feet trimmed; they will tap dance like this tickles.

Oh, that’s not far from my neck of the woods! I volunteer at the SPCA in the city of Buffalo & I’m always shocked at how many beautiful, loving, loyal dogs & cats that are discarded like trash, for whatever reason. I’ve been volunteering at shelters since right out of HS, but it still amazes me how awful some people can be. We had someone surrender their 10 year old shepherd not too long ago…..then had the audacity to request an adoption form for a puppy. Thankfully that beautiful boy wasn’t with us long bc another volunteer’s brother gave him a forever home so he could live out his senior years with lots of love & in peace ❤

He was a very good dog! Apart from being an extremely kind thing to do, this is genius as it shows potential adopters the dog's temperament in a highly stressful situation. I would adopt Snuffy in a heartbeat! As an aside, I cannot believe how brave, fast and precise you are when doing the eye area. I wouldn't be able to get anything done out of fear of cutting them. You're the best.

@MrsFitzus 8 ай бұрын
@mariahgrimes207 they definitely can. Take the attitude of "Fake it till you make it" and learn to be brave together. There are lots of really good tutorials for nail trimming. Or you can even teach him to accept a nail file or a dremel if clippers make you nervous. If you decide to use clippers, make sure they're the scissor type and not the guillotine type. Guillotine nail clippers can crush the nail to cut it instead of cutting right through cleanly so it could actually be hurting his quicks even if you don't accidentally cut the quick.

@littlebear274 8 ай бұрын
I always get a little nervous watching her trim around the ears even and I imagine it's quite easy to feel where the ear ends and the fur begins. Great point about showing the dog's temperament. I was thinking already it would be good for adopters to see the video to know what the coat situation will be like but it is a great insight into his behaviour as well.

I think it’s important to give people some grace and assume, since this was an owner surrender, that something terrible must have forced them to give up this dog. We don’t know if it was a sudden struggler with money, a debilitating illness, depression… could be a lot of things that made it get this bad. I had to rehome my dog once when my living siituation became untenable, and it was one of the hardest-if not THE hardest--things I’ve ever had to do.

Mental health issues? Sudden disability issue? Maybe he was given as a pup to an older person and as he grew they couldn't continue to groom him? Livestock guardian dog that got loose and lost? I can think of many reasons how he could have gotten that way and none of them are "intentionally neglected". 😢 I hope and pray that he's able to be adopted by someone who is physically, mentally and emotionally prepared to consistently groom him. 😢❤🙏🏻

Comfortability with paws being touched is something that usually has to be taught from a very young age, and even if you teach them to tolerate it you can’t really teach them to like it.
