We would like to recognize Donnie & Diane Park for setting up the Snuggles Park Memorial Fund. This fund has now helped several sick and injured animals. The last one being a 4 year old Dachshund that had to have emergency surgery to remove a foreign body from his intestine. The surgery was successful and Jasper is doing well!!

The Snuggles Park Memorial Fund to Help Animals will depend on cash contributions of any amount – small or large – from compassionate people who want to help rescued animals and animals whose owners need financial help to pay for the medical services that will help their pets to get well and stay well.
Snuggles was a blue-point Himalayan cat who lived for 19 years with Donnie and Diane Park of Norfork. Snuggles was diagnosed with chronic renal failure in January 2007 by Dr. Ed Kennedy in Jackson, Miss. That began a regime of twice weekly fluid treatments that were continued at All Creatures Veterinary Clinic in 2008 when Donnie and Diane moved here. In the last months of his life, weekly shots of Adequan were added to aid Snuggles’ mobility and ensure better quality of life for him.
Snuggles was under the primary care of Dr. Tabitha Norris, and everyone on the staff at All Creatures became a friend of Snuggles. He looked like a big softie, but he was a determined fighter who kept his dignity to the very end. Dr. Amanda Wallace was on call on the night of Oct. 3, 2011, and she helped Donnie and Diane decide that Snuggles was, in fact, ready to go and that it was time for them to let him go.
Snuggles’ human sisters, Beverly Park Hairston and Sherry Park Martin, decided to remember and honor Snuggles by providing an initial donation to establish a fund in his name here at All Creatures. The fund is intended to help animals who need acute care or treatment for chronic conditions and whose owners absolutely cannot afford to pay the full costs for their pet’s care or treatment.
