❄️ Meet Snowbell! ❄️ This sweet 1-year-old, 11lb Maltese girl is looking for a loving family to call her own! Snowbell is a snuggle bug who adores being petted, cuddling at your feet, and going on car rides. 🚗💕 About Snowbell: • House-trained: Uses puppy pads indoors but prefers to go out every 3 hours (she’ll sit by the door to let you know!). • Kid-friendly: Loves children and is super gentle. • Leash-trained: Walks well and comes running when you call her name! • Learning commands: Mastering “sit” and “stay.” • Personality: A bit hyper when you get home, then settles into a cuddly, loyal companion. • Not a fan of: Kennels (adjusts after 5 mins), toys, and other dogs (she hides from them). She would do best as a solo gal! Snowbell would thrive in a home where she can shower you with love and be your shadow. 🐶💖 To adopt Snowbell, please submit an application at: lickingforlove.org/adopt

Story
Please read the pet description IN IT'S ENTIRETY before applying.  Thank you for your cooperation. WARNING GRAPHIC!!!!!!!! She was still wagging her tail.  This is so sad.  We pulled this little girl from the Caddo shelter on March 18th as a medical release.  We were told she had a "hurt" paw.  Ann, one of our transport crew, retrieved her.  Typically, we bring the dog to the rescue first to assess and check due the normal check in, but Ann called Ninna that this little girl probably needs to go directly to the vet.  Ann said she smelled of infection and rot.  Ninna realized the urgency in Ann's voice and asked her to take her directly to our vet and Ninna notified Caddo Parish Animal Services we were doing so since she was still on stray hold.  The vet contacted Ninna that they needed to sedate her and shave some of the coat away to get into what was going on with the front right paw.  Come to find out, her paw was more than just "hurt".  The skin underneath the tightly wrapped matting was sloughing off revealing bones, tendons and maggots!  Horrible!  The vet said she will lose the leg.  Her other leg also has sores and infection but that leg will be saved.   They immediately put her on IV pain relief and antibiotics.  She's so emaciated under all that matting and so riddled with infection that they can't do any type of surgery right now. TODAY, March 21st, she is OFF STRAY HOLD, so she is OFFICIALLY OURS and forever away from whatever nightmare from which she came. We named her Liz Beth. Stay tuned for updates. “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”  ~ Gandhi Be responsible ~  Always spay/neuter, keep your dogs on heartworm prevention, vaccinate against disease... and if you bring a pet into your life, commit to that pet for life.  Blessings.
