Hi, my name is Snoop, i'm stuck in an NJ shelter and I'm scheduled to be euthanized on 6/16/22. I'm a good, goofy boy.. I just want to live, be loved, and have a best friend! I'm only 3, I have so much life to live. I know right now I require kind of a special enviroment and circumstances, but it's the only thing that will save my life!

My old family gave me up, I don't understand why but I heard people say it's because they were moving and couldn't take me with them. I do have some trust issues and I'm often reactive upon meeting new people, so introductions are sometimes slow for me. I like to be in my cage or a seperate room/area when guests or new people visit. Once I love you I might get protective sometimes, but I'm usually easily redirected and with proper patience and training I could be an even better boy! I'm food motivated, obedient and eager to learn new things for you. I love to cuddle, play, go for walks and I don't even mind baths that much! I'm over 70lbs so I can be a lot for younger kids, I'd feel a lot more comfortable in a home with adults that are experienced with my breed and have an understanding of what it is to be reactive - vs aggressive. Teens with the same understandings are cool with me too. Cats and small dogs get me way too excited and activate my prey drive it seems. I enjoy being around dogs my age and younger, and I usually get along better with females. I'veet a 10yr old female bulldog at a meet&greet and we made friends! Sadly her family had young children. My dominant personality does sometimes take over, but again I'm usually easily redirected. Also, another alpha in the home would not be ideal. I sit and patiently wait for my food to be put down. And I know commands like sit and stay very well. I am not food, toy or treat aggressive, I take things gently from people (I havent been around dogs enough to let people know whether or not I am possessive around them) and treat my blankets, beds and toys with care. I've never even had an accident in the 7 months I've been in the kennel!

I do suffer from allergies, no one's ever figured out what they are but I would love to find out so I can stop being itchy and red! Right now I have a secondary infection and it's very uncomfortable. I just want to feel better!

If someone can give me a safe space, I can make it out of the shelter! My first stop I want to be is the vets office... and then your I'll steal your heart AND couch! As long as you're sitting on it with me

Please help me! I don't want to die, I have so much love and goofiness to give!
