In July 2024, the Humane Society of Atlantic County (HSAC) in Atlantic City, New Jersey, experienced a distressing incident when a dog was abandoned on their premises. A surveillance video captured an individual tossing the dog over the shelter’s fence during the night, marking the fourth such occurrence by the same person.
The shelter named the resilient canine “Snookie.” Despite initial fears, Snookie’s physical scars healed, and her gentle demeanor shone through. She was soon placed for adoption, attracting attention nationwide. By September 2024, Snookie found a forever home in Texas, where she now enjoys a life of comfort, including a private pool designed just for her.
This heartwarming story highlights the collective efforts of the Atlantic City community and the dedication of organizations like HSAC in rescuing and providing second chances to animals in need.
