About SNOOP

TO BE KILLED 10/18/2020 THIS IS HOW A BELOVED WELL BEHAVED WELL MANNERED FAMILY PET'S LIFE WILL END AT THE ACC - completely freaked out, angry at the people whom he thinks are keeping his family away. Why won't Snoop think that? He was part of a family, he slept in the room with his folks, and played gently with the baby who's the same age as him. His family moved and could not take him with them. Unfortunately, beloved pets often do poorly at the ACC. Why? Because they are hurting, they are scared and worried about the family who dumped them. Dogs are like that. They love their humans to a fault. Snoop is a family pet who has no issues at home. At the ACC he is now deemed a bad dog for being scared, for protecting himself. Snoop doesn't deserve to die like that, surrounded by strangers, scared out of his wits, held down by uncaring people. Please help Snoop find his miracle. Please share Snoop!
