Second chance for Sugar Snap: Dog found emaciated in Chicago recovering at local shelter

A Chicago dog named Sugar Snap is getting a second chance at life thanks to the care and support of One Tail at a Time, a local animal rescue organization.

Sugar Snap was found in critical condition. He was severely malnourished and unable to stand on his own. Concerned citizens brought him to Chicago Animal Care and Control, where the seriousness of his situation became clear.

Yesterday we got a call about a severely emaciated dog found and brought into Chicago Animal Care and Control. He was assessed by their veterinary team and deemed ok to transfer out- but he was in dire need of emergency care.

Our team was able to get him out, rush him to the emergency vet, and get him started with treatment. We named him Sugar Snap, because he’s just the sweetest little string bean.

One Tail at a Time, known for its dedication to helping animals in desperate need, stepped in to provide Sugar Snap with the care he desperately needed. The rescue rushed him to the vet for immediate medical attention, and he is now undergoing treatment and receiving proper nourishment.

Sugar Snap’s story is a stark reminder of the challenges faced by many animals in our community. We are committed to giving him the care and support he needs to recover and find his forever home.”

Sugar Snap is not able to stand or walk on his own at this time, but he is eating and was very interested in the food offered to him. A diagnosis has not been made at this time.

We will be checking back on this sweet dog. Stay tuned.
