Mauled Dog Left To Heal On His Own Is Left With A Crooked Face & Longing For A Forever Family
Woody’s face tells a painful story, but his rescue journey is just as striking. The pit bull was mauled as a tiny puppy, then left to heal without veterinary care, leaving him with permanent injuries and a crooked look that has followed him ever since.
After being abandoned and chained up outside, Woody spent weeks surviving on scraps from neighbors before S.N.A.R.R. Animal Rescue Northeast stepped in. Now he is safe, loved, and waiting for the right forever family to see past his rough start and focus on the dog he has become.
His next chapter could be the happiest one yet.
Although Woody's face is crooked, he doesn't have any health concerns. “He just looks a little different, which doesn’t bother us one bit,” his rescuers gush. “In fact, it’s what made us fall in love with him even more.”
But it's not only Woody's looks that his rescuers fell in love with. It's his huge heart!
Jamie’s foster worries hit close to home for the puppy left in the woods for weeks, still waiting for someone to find him.
When Woody was first placed in foster care, his foster mama Jamie wasn't very well. “The first day we had Woody, I was sick with a fever,” Jamie said. “He knew something wasn’t right and never left my side.”
“He snuggled with me on the couch all afternoon. Now he’s my shadow, always following me wherever I go, making sure I’m safe and sound. Woody loves to curl up on the bed and put his head on my chest.”
S.N.A.R.R. intends to be very selective when choosing Woody's forever home. They write, “Woody, while adorable, needs some love and a bit of training. He is a bit jumpy, but who wouldn’t be after being chained up outside! He also needs a home without cats; he likes to chase them.”
They say Woody is also likely to be best suited to a home with female dogs only.
“He is currently in foster care with four other female dogs and does wonderfully,” says S.N.A.R.R.
“While Woody is good around kids, we think older kids (over the age of 10) are best. He has zero aggression towards anything or anyone, but he is a large dog who can, at times, get excited and jump up, so older kids are the better fit.”
The BEST update on Woody!
After months and months of searching, S.N.A.R.R. was thrilled to announce that Woody had finally found his forever home. Just in time for Christmas, no less!
