About Snoopy

Snoopy is a charming 5-7 year old Shih Tzu mix who weighs 25 lbs. He was left tied outside a vet’s office, which gives you a glimpse into his tough past, bouncing between several homes without the stability he deserves. Now in the care of Rain or Shine Rescue in Brooklyn, NY, Snoopy is eager for a loving, permanent home. He thrives in an adult-only environment due to his mixed feelings about men—he usually barks until he recognizes them. Snoopy enjoys the company of calm dogs and has an impressive toy collection. He’s a friendly extrovert who appreciates affection—on his terms. With mild arthritis and hip dysplasia, it's best to avoid touching his back end. Snoopy is house trained, neutered, and current on vaccinations. He’s available for local or out-of-state adoption, provided the adopter can travel to meet him.
