Meet Sniffles, the wonderful noseless dog that's looking for a forever home DATE: 2024-05-24 14:48:53
Meet Sniffles, the latest shelter dog that's captured the internet's heart.
Sniffles is a senior pooch, estimated to be about 12-years-old, looking for a new home in Chuluota, Florida, and he has one very unique characteristic: he has no nose.
Our boy Sniffles also has some crooked teeth to go along with his noseless face, which also causes a form of snorting from the little guy.
Speaking to local news station WESH, Genesis Diaz, who's currently fostering Sniffles, talked about the dog's friendly demeanor: "This morning I woke up and he was at the edge of my bed, staring at me, and he ran over and did a little twirl and started licking my face."
Sadly, while his sunny disposition is a gift to the world, folks aren't exactly flooding Poodle and Pooch Rescue, the shelter that's taken Sniffles in, with applications for his adoption. But a little PR for Sniffles is doing some good, based on the comments on the Poodle and Pooch Facebook post.
Michelle Wacker of Orange County Animal Services, which originally took Sniffles in, said, "He's just a precious old man. Everyone at the vet's office has fallen in love with him ... He's a healthy dog. He just looks a little funny."
He'll look a little less funny in the coming weeks when he receives some much-needed dental work.
In the meantime, if you're interested in adopting Sniffles or simply making a donation to Poodle and Pooch Rescue, you can find all the info you need at their website.
