Owner Info: Snuffles is a 10-year-old Parson Russell Terrier located in the San Francisco Bay area of California, who recently went blind (possibly due to age). His current caretaker got him from his owner who had him his entire life. His owner is moving from California to Washington State to go to school and he can't take Snuffles with him. She took care of Snuffles a few times when he was just a puppy and only saw him for the first time in 10 years last Sunday.  She didn't want him to go to a shelter where he'll most definitely be put to sleep.  Unfortunately, she just accepted a job offer and is moving in less than a week. If she can't find Snuffles a new home or rescue, he will be headed to the shelter, which is really the last thing she wants to do.  She says she's contacted about 30 rescue groups but has not heard back. She's also tried to contact some no-kill shelters but those take time to get in and she does not have any time. She has been doing her best to get him into a good, loving home or rescue, and she is now desperate.  She says that Snuffles is neutered and microchipped, but is not current on vaccines. Other than the loss of sight, he's still very energetic and affectionate.  Snuffles is an indoor dog with run of the house and is housebroken.  He knows several commands including Sit, Stay, No, and High-Five.  Snuffles has never bitten or snapped at anyone to her knowledge.  He is very friendly and sweet and has lived with cats.   She was really trying to do the right thing for him and is heartbroken to be stuck in this situation.  She is begging for help for Snuffles!
