Snowflake's Story

Snowflake was spotted alone and malnourished in a briar field. His ribs and hips were pronounced, his tail was all but gone, and his coat was filthy. Animal Control assured SMAWL that an investigation was under way, yet it wasn't until SMAWL acted on Snowflake's behalf that he was rescued. Through donations, SMAWL hired an independent vet to make a determination on Snow's condition for Animal Control. SMAWL then located a foster home for Snowflake.
