Dog Whose Abandonment Was Caught On Camera Smiles Again In A New Home

Here’s the full story of Snoop’s incredible journey from abandonment to finding his forever home:


Dogs are our best friends in the world, but sometimes it feels like we don’t deserve them. Remember Snoop? His abandonment story went viral several years ago when his owner dumped him on the side of the road in England.

Snoop Was Abandoned By His Owner On The Road

In 2018, a man took the heartbreaking step of throwing his dog out of his car in Stoke-on-Trent. Snoop, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, wagged his tail as he exited the vehicle, unaware of the cruel fate that awaited him.

The man took Snoop’s dog bed out, placed it on the roadside, and then, without a second glance, sped away. Snoop, confused and desperate, returned to his bed and lay there waiting, hoping his owner would come back for him. Hours passed as Snoop remained on his bed, until a random passerby noticed the forlorn dog and took immediate action.

This passerby brought Snoop to a local shelter, where the heart-wrenching story began to unfold. The tale of Snoop’s abandonment quickly gained attention after the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) shared it on air, touching the hearts of many.

Snoop waited patiently, hoping for a new family to come forward. As his story spread, it became clear that many people were moved by his plight and wanted to offer him a loving home.

After careful consideration, Laurence Squire from rural Hertfordshire emerged as the ideal candidate. Laurence had seen Snoop’s story on the news and was deeply moved. He immediately applied to adopt Snoop, and his application impressed the RSPCA team.

Laurence’s home was spacious, with a large yard where Snoop could run and play. Furthermore, Laurence worked from home, which meant Snoop wouldn’t have to suffer from separation anxiety. The RSPCA team felt confident that Laurence was the perfect match for Snoop.

Today, Snoop is the happiest dog in the world. He has embraced his new life with joy and enthusiasm. Snoop’s transformation is nothing short of miraculous. He has claimed his spot on the sofa, which he considers his new throne. Laurence says, “As soon as he came into the house for the first time, he jumped on the sofa and it was as though he decided that was the space for him! He loves to lie on the back of the sofa, and if I put the fire on, he will curl up in front of it.”

Snoop’s story is a beautiful reminder of the power of compassion and the incredible difference a loving home can make. After all the hardship, Snoop finally received the love and care he truly deserved, and we couldn’t be happier for him!


Snoop’s journey from abandonment to finding a loving home shows just how transformative kindness and compassion can be. It’s heartwarming to see how a new beginning can bring out the best in a deserving dog like Snoop.
