About Snipes

Snipes is a lively and playful 6-year-old male dog, weighing 53 lbs. He has a friendly disposition and enjoys being around other dogs and people. After being adopted from Baja Animal Sanctuary in 2021, he was returned in 2026 due to his owner's long work hours, which left Snipes without the time and attention he needed. Unfortunately, he developed glaucoma in one eye, which had to be surgically removed earlier this year, but he’s been recovering well. Snipes does experience slight separation anxiety, so he would thrive best in a home with other dogs for companionship. His short coat is easy to manage, and he is both altered and vaccinated. If you’re ready to welcome this spirited dog into your life, Snipes is excited to meet you! Click apply to start the adoption process.
