My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sue Snue is a 3-year-old mama pup and a stunning blue and red heeler mix with truly unique coloring. She has a soft, soulful presence that draws you in. She is a lower-energy cattle dog who is perfectly happy hanging by your side all day, going for peaceful trail walks, and being a loyal companion.

Sue is naturally shy and timid, especially in new environments, but beneath that uncertainty is a remarkably courageous and curious dog. In calm, quiet, and supportive surroundings, she blossoms. She wants to be where her people are and shows a strong desire to explore her world at her own pace.

Confidence does not come easily to Sue, but she works hard for it, and her quick progress has been impressive.

She is gaining more confidence every day with the help of her foster siblings, who are gently showing her what it means to live as a confident dog, learning to trust, embrace play, and slowly fulfill the potential of her best life.

She is very affectionate in the sweetest way, always wanting to be near her humans. When she feels overwhelmed, she seeks comfort and reassurance from her person, often hopping up with pleading eyes asking for protection. Although she’s shy, she trusts people deeply and loves to welcome you home with a smile (a unique trait!), literally baring her teeth in excitement, whether it’s to greet you or because she’s thrilled it’s dinnertime.

She is especially fond of exploring the backyard, which has brought her a lot of joy and confidence. She’s learning basic training cues like touch and sit, walks beautifully on leash, rides well in the car, and continues to surprise everyone with how quickly she adapts. Loud noises and busy environments, traffic, city life, garbage trucks, are still scary for her, so a quieter home would suit her best.

Sue Snue is learning how to be a dog again, and she’s doing it with bravery, curiosity, and heart. She would make a wonderful, close-knit companion for someone patient and kind who wants a true best friend, and is ready to offer her the forever home she deserves!

More about this shelter

Soul Dog is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue organization founded with the mission to spay/neuter and protect animals. We are currently a small group of committed volunteers making a difference in the life of one animal at a time. As an all volunteer administration, all donations made to Soul Dog go directly to improving the health of the pets that share our lives.

Soul Dog is proactive in animal welfare advancing the need for spaying and neutering our pets to reduce overpopulation. We travel to rural communities on Native American reservations, where spaying and neutering will only happen if it is nearly free or very convenient. Soul Dog works with volunteer veterinarians to provide the spaying and neutering service at no cost to the public. Donations are used to defray the costs associated with medications, supplies, and the operating cost for clinics.
