Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Available for adoption in Newark, NJ
Snoopy is an 11-year-old male, but don’t let his age fool you! This guy still has quite a bit of pep in his step and likes to run after
his foster brother for a few minutes each day. He also loves jumping into his foster parents’ very high bed to maximize the cuddly closeness. Snoopy loves to lounge around by your side all day. He has a lot of love to give and is always following his foster parents from room to room, lounging with them or off to the side,
and giving lots and lots of kisses.
Snoopy was surrendered by his owner after he started bothering their cats, so a cat-free home is required. He’s the perfect dog for
the Aussie lover who is looking for a low-key companion. Snoopy is being fostered
with another male Aussie. After a few days of learning how to share, the two just
co-exist. It’s clear that Snoopy likes to initiate play, though, and might do
well with another playful doggie brother or sister. He does bark if there is a
visitor or pedestrians outside, but he is just loud (not aggressive or scary).
He calms down when he realizes the visitors can also give him loving attention.
Snoopy is housetrained and knows basic commands like sit, paw, down, outside,
inside, and pee. He goes to his crate when told but definitely prefers to sleep
by the foot of your bed throughout the night.
Snoopy has a large fatty tumor in his groin area. It does
not cause him any pain or problems, but it cannot be removed because he had a
very bad reaction to anesthetics and he cannot be put under for a removal
surgery. He is otherwise in perfect health. Snoopy is neutered, micro-chipped,
and up-to-date on all his vaccines. He is currently being fostered in Newark, NJ.
If you think that Snoopy is a great fit for your family, please fill out our application:
