A badly neglected dog named Snickers was facing an untimely demise at Houston’s BARC animal shelter. But Snickers was rescued by Beeson Family Rescue before the unthinkable happened.

Unfortunately, Snickers is reported to be “extremely ill” with an upper respiratory infection.

Information about Snickers was posted to social media on Tuesday afternoon:
