Dogs are known to be our most loyal companions, but sometimes, it feels like we don’t deserve their unwavering love. Take the story of Snoop, for example. You may remember him—a heart-wrenching story of a small dog whose abandonment was caught on camera and went viral a few years ago.
Snoop was discarded on the roadside in England, left to fend for himself in a cold, heartless world.
But this tale has a beautiful twist. Let’s explore how Snoop found his smile again in a loving new home.
Left On The Side Of The Road
Back in 2018, a man pulled over on the side of a road in Stoke-on-Trent and did the unthinkable. His Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Snoop, eagerly hopped out of the car, his tail wagging with excitement, not knowing that his life was about to change forever.
The man took Snoop’s bed out, placed it on the roadside, and rushed back into his car. Confused and scared, Snoop chased after him, desperate to get back inside. But the car sped away, leaving him behind, lost and alone.
With a broken heart, Snoop returned to his bed, lying down in a state of shock, waiting for his owner to come back. Hours passed, and a passerby noticed Snoop curled up in his bed, looking dejected and abandoned. Acting quickly, the good Samaritan rescued Snoop and took him to a nearby shelter, sparking the beginning of a story that would touch the hearts of millions.
When the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) learned of Snoop’s plight, it knew it had to act quickly.
A Cry For Help Heard Around The World
Snoop was not just any small puppy; he was a well-behaved dog with a gentle spirit, deeply longing for a new family to love. Despite his painful past, Snoop showed immense courage, gradually coming to terms with his loss and adjusting to his new surroundings at the shelter.
However, finding a permanent home for Snoop wasn’t an immediate process. He had to wait a bit longer for the perfect family to come along.
The RSPCA shared Snoop’s story on air, and soon, the world responded.
The Video That Touched Millions
Snoop’s heartbreaking story went viral, and the shelter was inundated with calls and messages. Thousands of people were moved by Snoop’s ordeal and wanted to know more about this brave little soul. Many offered to give him a loving home, showing the overwhelming compassion of animal lovers worldwide.
Suddenly, Snoop found himself at the center of a beautiful dilemma—so many families wanted to adopt him!
It was a sweet struggle for the RSPCA team, who had to decide who would be the best fit for this special dog.
A Perfect Match Found
After careful consideration of the many applicants, the shelter chose Laurence Squire, a compassionate man from rural Hertfordshire.
Laurence had seen Snoop’s story on the news and was deeply affected by it. He felt a strong connection with Snoop and knew he wanted to offer him a safe and loving forever home.
The RSPCA team knew they had found the perfect match.
Laurence’s spacious home, complete with a large yard for Snoop to run and play, was ideal. Laurence worked from home, ensuring that Snoop would never feel lonely or experience separation anxiety again. With this decision, Snoop’s new chapter began.
Snoop Finds His Happiness Again
Today, Snoop is living his best life. He has regained his joy, and his smile is brighter than ever.
He has become the beloved king of his new home, enjoying every moment to the fullest. Whether he’s running around the backyard, lounging on the sofa, or simply basking in the warmth of the fireplace, Snoop is now surrounded by the love and care he always deserved.
“As soon as he entered the house for the first time, Snoop jumped on the sofa, almost as if he knew it was his new spot!” Laurence shares. “He loves to curl up on the back of the sofa, and if the fire is on, you’ll find him cozied up in front of it.”
After everything he has endured, Snoop finally has the forever home he deserves, filled with affection and kindness. It’s a happy ending that brings joy to everyone who hears it, reminding us all of the incredible resilience of dogs and the boundless love they bring into our lives. We couldn’t be happier for Snoop and his new life!
