Snow's tenacity and undying capacity to love despite his past encouraged me every day. He had come so far from the scrawny, mistreated dog I originally met. I decided to share his story on social media and with local animal rescue organizations in the hope of finding him a permanent home.

And finally, after months of patiently waiting, the perfect family stepped forward to adopt Snow. They were enthralled by his story and fell in love with him quickly, just as I had. It was a painful time as I bid goodbye to my great companion, but I knew he was going to a safe and loving permanent home.
