About Snare

Snare is a gentle, sweet puppy who loves being close to his people. He has a calm, affectionate personality and is happiest when he's soaking up cuddles, attention, and companionship. Snare has been diagnosed with Cone-Rod Dystrophy 2 (CRD2), an inherited retinal disease that affects vision. He was born with nystagmus, a condition that causes involuntary eye movements, and he is believed to be significantly visually impaired. As the disease progresses, Snare is expected to lose his remaining vision and will likely become completely blind. The good news? Snare doesn't let that stop him from being a happy puppy. He explores his surroundings, enjoys interacting with people, and approaches life with the same curiosity and enthusiasm as any other young dog. Dogs rely heavily on their sense of smell, hearing, and memory, and visually impaired dogs often adapt remarkably well to their environments. Snare would thrive in a home that can provide lots of love, companionship, and encouragement. While Snare may experience life differently than other puppies, he has just as much love to give. He is looking for a family that will see beyond his diagnosis and appreciate the wonderful, affectionate puppy he is.

Ideal Home

Snare would thrive in a home that can provide a consistent environment with minimal furniture changes, positive reinforcement training and confidence-building experiences, and patience and support as he continues learning to navigate the world.
