This little injured pup felt so lonely as he roamed the streets, desperately sniffing the ground and searching for leftovers.
Since humans didn’t treat him well, the dog became distrustful and closed his heart to love.
One day, Desy, a dog rescuer and co-founder of a shelter, noticed the doggo lying on the side of a road and rushed to his aid.
When the pup saw her approaching him, he was terrified. He snapped at her, wishing to scare her away.
The dog couldn’t imagine how much his life was about to change.
A Guarded Heart
Although the dog was in need of medical help, his fear of humans was stronger. He kept snapping at Desy whenever she tried to grab him.
She took off her jacket and wrapped it around the pup. She loaded him into her car and drove him to the vet.
The dog received a medical checkup. Since his leg was broken, the pup endured a lot of pain and needed to undergo surgery.
While he stayed at the hospital, Desy visited him every day.
As he continued snapping and growling at her, she named him Snappy.
Desy was convinced that Snappy had a guarded heart because humans had hurt him in the past.
She kept spending time with him, determined to win his trust.
“I visited him as often as possible to build that trust and show him that we humans can be “nice” too,” Desy wrote in an Instagram post.
Thanks to the kindness and care that Desy showed him, Snappy began trusting his rescuer and he stopped growling at her.
He let Desy stroke him.
Because of the love that she gave him, the pup felt safe and began displaying his affectionate disposition and showering his rescuer with kisses.
He was grateful for her help.
“He was just super snuggly, and he finally understood that I’m not going to hurt him,” Desy told The Dodo.
Snappy’s Incredible Transformation
After having surgery, Snappy moved to the shelter. He made many doggy friends and started enjoying his life.
From a terrified dog who didn’t trust anyone, he transformed into a lovely pup who loved cuddling with everyone he met.
Although Snappy enjoys hanging out with his rescuer and his doggy friends, he longs to find a permanent home.
After all the hardships he has endured, Snappy deserves to find his happily ever after.
His rescuer is sure that Snappy will be a perfect companion to his forever family.
“Snappy just ticks all the boxes. I don’t know who is going to give this boy a forever home but that Person is one lucky human,” his rescuer added.
I hope that you will meet your person soon Snappy!
