Ok so his name is Snoopy but it's difficult not to default to Scooby Doo because this big galoot is perhaps more cartoon character than dog. Snoop is almost a year old and 75 pounds but his personality is way bigger and bolder than his age and size. If you don't adore goofy, then stop reading and move along because Snoopy Scooby is not bashful about who he is and how he shows it. He has BIG love of everything and everyone!
Snoop has settled well into his foster home following months in a kennel environment, and hasn't lost one ounce of his innate personality. His heart is HUGE and he wants to please his people even if he's inadvertently done something to irk them like run into them while playing. Instead of slinking away, he will wag his weapon of a tail, turn his body into a circle, and make growling sounds. This display is his very own kind of apology and you can't help but laugh - it's impossible to stay mad at such a derpy boy.
Snoopy had an unfortunate human induced accident as a puppy that left him with a broken hip. His hip operation was a total success and 5 months after FHO surgery he has made a full recovery. Except for a tiny giddy up at the walk, he runs and plays hard with his foster four leggeds with zero limitations. A dog's ability to recover is only surpassed by a human's ability to be cruel. Yes, Snoopy got the short stick when it came to his original guardian but his zest for life and love for everyone has never been dampened. Onwards and upwards Snoopy!
Snoopy is great with other dogs, big or small, male or female. He is totally trustworthy with the house tigers and it seems that he and his new donkey friend may end up as besties with equally large personalities. With his size, goofballness, and lack of knowing where his body is at all times, people with osteoporosis and kids who fall down easily are not recommended : )
Snoopy will thrive in an environment where his sense of humour and sunshiney personality are embraced. He could use some handrails around his exuberance but you don't want to stifle this hilarious boy, you want to stand back and enjoy the show. Though Snoopy is currently living in the country where he has lots of opportunity to get his jiggies out, he could fit into community living as long as he has freedom to stretch those long legs and friends to play with daily. Dogs who live in a kennel environment need some extra forgiveness around house training but as long as Snoopy gets to go out regularly he remembers. Otherwise, he's learning his manners, walking on a leash, sleeping in a crate and all the other schooling that happens in foster.
Ultimately, Snoopy is a soft guy who wants to please his people. You can feel the unique and funny that flows from his spazzy body so if you've been missing this level of mayhem in your crew, Snoopy awaits.
Snoopy is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and dewormed. He is being fostered in Caledon.
Adoption process includes application, virtual home visit, phone interview, reference check, meet & greet, positive reinforcement training approval, adoption contract and $850 adoption fee.
