About Snoop

Snoop is a small senior Chihuahua with a big presence in a compact frame. He knows exactly what he wants—snuggles, snacks, and sticking close to his person. Despite his age and limited vision from cataracts, he easily finds his way around familiar spaces and just needs a consistent, secure home to help him feel confident. This guy is the definition of a cuddle bug, happiest when he’s nestled in your lap or wedged between your legs. At night, he’s content to share your bed or curl up with his dog friends. He definitely channels his Chihuahua side—bossy in spirit, but really all bark. Snoop lives peacefully with other dogs and enjoys having pup pals. If you have treats, you’ll definitely win his loyalty; food is his main motivation and he’s always happy to show off for a snack. Born June 2, Snoop is a clever, cuddly Gemini who’s ready for a home where snuggles and snacks never run out. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
