Meet Bernie. Born with a severe heart condition, Bernie was facing congestive heart failure and a short life. But thanks to Bernie’s foster family, a pro-bono veterinary consultation, and the HUGE fund-raising efforts of SNAFU Rescue, Bernie was able to receive life-saving surgery on March 30th and is recovering nicely. Just 24 hours after his surgery, Bernie was eating, drinking, and greeting every passerby with a wigglebutt.
Located mainly in the Midwest, SNAFU Rescue rehabilitates short-nosed dogs taken into their rescue and facilitates the adoption of eligible dogs. When space is not available, they coordinate with a network of other rescues and/or place dogs in need with vetted foster families.
Nationwide adoptions are available provided the approved adoptive family is willing to travel to SNAFU Rescue to pick up their dog. If, for any reason, they are not able to keep the dog, they must agree to return their adopted dog to SNAFU Rescue or to the original foster home at their own expense.
