About Snoop

Snoop was picked up wandering alone in Compton. At about 1 year old and 40 pounds, he strikes a classic Dutch Shepherd look with a medium coat. Early on, Snoop keeps his distance and watches new situations quietly, but give him a few minutes and he’ll thaw out, especially around playful dogs in the yard. His confidence is still a work in progress, so he’ll do best with people who understand working breeds and can patiently help him open up even more. Snoop gets along well with other dogs and enjoys the company. A structured home with people who know how to help sensitive, active dogs thrive is the best fit. Ready to fall in love?
