Dog Names that Start with Sq

Squish is a dog with a ruff past and a promising future. When he was found in April of 2016, his name was Zar, and he was four months old and badly mistreated. In fact, his face was caved in all around his right eye, and his mouth was deformed. At first, the veterinarian thought that the pup had an infected insect bite, so he was given antibiotics and pain medication. However, these did not help, and when the vet took some more x-rays, he found that the damage was caused by multiple skull fractures from blunt force trauma. 

The veterinarian and the staff tried to help the pooch, which they had now named Squish because of the way his face looked so cutely squished, but he seemed to be in lots of pain and was having trouble eating. So, the veterinarian decided it would be best to humanely euthanize him to put him out of his misery. However, veterinary intern Danielle Boyd knew as soon as she saw Squish that he was a fighter and wanted to live. 

Danielle took Squish home with her just for the night to see how he would act in a home environment away from so much noise and cramped conditions. She was shocked at how happy and full of life this pup seemed and decided that she would do everything she could to heal him. She said that Squish is like a living, breathing tornado rather than a dog and he enjoys running around and playing with whoever is nearby. Because of Squish’s injuries, Danielle knew that he would need a lot of care and multiple surgeries and knew it would be almost impossible to find a home for him, so she decided to keep him. 

Being a veterinary student, Danielle knew the amount of medical care Squish would need for the rest of his life, but she was willing and able to provide whatever he needed. She stated that everyone thought that Squish needed her, but they had no idea how much she needed him. The cuddly canine changed her life completely, and she has helped change his as well. He has undergone three major surgeries to remove the part of his jaw that was damaged, scar tissue, and his right eye that was sinking below his cheekbone. Although he may need another surgery to align his jaws better, Squish is now able to eat and play ball like the rest of the dogs.
