Snipes - German Shorthaired Pointer and Dalmatian Dog for Adoption in San Diego, California

Snipes is 6 years old and weighs 53 lbs. He is good with other dogs and good around people. He is friendly, active, playful and outgoing. Snipes was adopted from BAS in 2021 and returned in 2026. He developed glaucoma in one of his eyes and the eye had to be removed. His owner retuned him because he started working long hours and didn’t feel like he could give Snipes the time and attention he deserved. He had the eye surgery on 2/16/26 and is doing great!

He has slight separation anxiety so he would do best in a home with another dog or dogs.
