About Snoopy

Scooby is 14 months old and weighs 17 lbs. He started life in tough circumstances with a backyard breeder and never knew gentle, loving care until his foster family stepped in. Now he thrives as part of their home, growing more confident every day. Scooby craves companionship and wants to please; he has a soft, sweet temperament and no trace of aggression. This little guy enjoys being indoors, the simple pleasures of family life, and is eager to bond. For adoption, Scooby needs an experienced dog owner, and it’s best if there’s a small, confident dog buddy in the home. Applicants must live in the DFW area, be at least 25, have a fenced backyard (no apartments), and stay or work from home. You’ll also need to provide a vet reference, complete a home visit, and finish an application before meeting him. Click apply to start the adoption process.
