Snookie the rescue dog enjoying her new life in TexasSnookie went from a discarded dog to a beloved rescue pet with a private pool.
On July 17, the Humane Society of Atlantic County in Atlantic City, New Jersey, posted a video on Facebook of a dog abandonment on its property.
The shelter captioned the upsetting clip, "This is the fourth dog dumped over our fence by this individual in the middle of the night."
In the footage, a person walking a dog approaches the fence outside the Humane Society of Atlantic County. The individual then picks up the canine and dumps it on the other side of the fence.
This abandoned dog is Snookie, a friendly pooch with distinct scarring on her back. The Humane Society of Atlantic County didn't let Snookie's story end there. The shelter took in the canine after the person in the video heaved her over the fence.
After spending time recovering at the shelter, Snookie became available for adoption. On Sept. 20, the Humane Society of Atlantic County announced that Snookie had found a new home and settled in.
