Snowmobile's Story

Meet Snowmobile!
He is an American Eskimo dog, and the mascot for The Humane Society of Citrus County.

He may be smiling now, but his life wasn't always happy.

Can you believe anyone could harm a dog this sweet? A cruel person used him for target practice and left him paralyzed with a BB wedged inside that cannot be removed. Snow was picked up by Animal Control and was slated to be euthanized, even though he was otherwise healthy, friendly, and in no apparent pain. That is until HSCC president Lisa Jacobson stepped in. She spotted him in one of the back cages at Animal Control where he would never have been seen by a potential adopter! She took Snow out of that horrible place.

This was Snowmobile, not too long after, at the EXIT Realty Leaders Grand Opening where HSCC had a booth, relaxing in the shade.

Snow has full use of his front legs, but he is unable to bend his back legs. They are stuck in a straight and stiff position, making it very difficult to get around. Because of where the BB is, surgery is not an option. But there still WAS an alternative for Snowmobile!

Through generous donations...

Snow now has his wheels can now run and play like all of the other dogs!

There IS an alternative to euthanization for dogs and cats that deserve a second chance.

There are too many dogs and other animals in situations just like Snowmobile had been in. While not all of them may need help to walk like Snow, there are many who are unwanted and deserve so much better than to be abused and adandoned, or discarded.

Help us make a shelter for animals in Citrus County a reality.
