Sniffles, a senior dog without a nose, was in rough shape when he arrived at Poodle and Pooch Rescue in Florida. In addition to missing his nose, he had an eye infection and was underweight.
Sniffles is from Puerto Rico and lost his nose when he was attacked by other dogs. Thankfully, a rescue group got him the surgery he needed.
Despite his struggles, Sniffles is an affectionate dog who loves people. When he became available for adoption, hundreds of hopeful guardians applied.
A couple named Norman and Sharon were chosen to provide Sniffles with his forever home. Norman described receiving an offer to take Sniffles in as “like winning the dog lottery.”
When the couple met Sniffles, he took to them right away, and the feeling was returned.
Sniffles is learning to enjoy life at his new home with Norman and Sharon, where he loves going out for walks and laying in the sun. Slowly but surely, he’s learning that he’ll never have to live in fear again.
What’s New…
Such a tragedy. Puerto Rico please look after you animals. I hope Sniffles has the best life.
A very special dog and wishing them all the best.

After reading this cruel treatment of wonderful animals it just makes you know that it is going to take Congress to make it a law that any sort of cruelty be a felony offence and punished to the full extent of the law.
We need laws to protect these animals now
WITH ALL THE MEANNESS IN THE WORLD, WE MUST REMEMBER ALL THE GOOD-HEARTED PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE ALSO!!!
WE MUST REMEMBER, FOLKS, WITH ALL THE TRAGEDY IN THE WORLD, THAT THERE IS STILL MANY WONDERFUL, KIND PEOPLE OUT THERE!!!

Thank you God for everyone who loves and protects animals. I’m so happy that Sniffles gets to sleep in a warm bed and not feel threatened. Please give Sniffles extra pets for me tonight. You are loved.
It is so refreshing to read about a beautuful little dog being rescued and going to a loving home instead of all the cruel tjings we read about. ❤❤❤👨👩🐶🐕🐩🐾
Agree.
I love this story!!! Every animal has a right to live in peace without fear of torture, abuse, injury, and death. Thanks to everyone who give animals a home and a second second chance in life.
I don’t know about the rest of the animal activists in this world but I’m beyond over having to share this world with such evil rotten cruel beings – there is absolutely no animal upon the earth that deserves to be harmed period – I am ever so greatful for those beautiful people that rescue , and adopt these poor animals . Thank you. I will fight and be a strong voice for all creatures upon this earth till they are able to live in harmony without humans harming them !
Count me in.
Well done Norman and Sharon.
Nice to have a good news story instead of the bleak news that seems to surround us on a daily basis.
Well done to all concerned in Sniffle’s rescue, rehab and rehoming.
