Snoopy Chihuahua Medfield, MA

Medfield Animal Shelter is participating in the nationwide event, Clear the Shelters on Saturday August 19th and Snoopy's adoption fee will be only $100 that day!

Snoopy is one of the smallest dogs we have had this year, weighing in at a whopping 4.5 lbs. All of the cats in the shelter weigh more than he does! Snoopy had one home for 8 years that let him out to roam the street and his was a frequent guest at the Animal Control facility in his town. From there he went to a new home but his owners are moving into the city and couldn't find housing that would allow them to keep him. We can't believe how lucky we are to have this tiny bundle of sweetness here to love for a short period of time until he is adopted. Snoopy is 9 years old and arrived at the Shelter on 8/16.
Snoopy is already neutered and has received some vet care previously. He has only lived with adults and other dogs. He rides great in the car and is very gentle. He was thrilled to go outside for a walk at the shelter to feel the grass under his feet so we are looking for a home where he can enjoy the fun of playing outside and going for regular walks.
Because Snoopy has not lived with children we would not send him to a home with children under 10 years old.

We give priority to people that fill out our adoption application, so if you are interested in meeting one of our dogs, that is the first step. E-mail inquiries about a dog are not considered an application.

If a dog is listed on our website, that means that dog is still available for adoption. The Shelter is staffed primarily by volunteers so adoption meetings take place on Saturdays from 11 - 1:00 during adoption hours, or by appointment. Our dog adoption fee for dogs 5 years old or younger is $350. Every dog we place is given age-appropriate vaccines, wormed, treated for ticks/fleas, tested for heartworm and spayed/neutered prior to adoption. We send each dog home with a collar and leash and a month's worth of heartworm preventative. If a dog is listed on our website, they are still available for adoption. Please fill out the adoption application if you would like to be considered for a dog you see in our care.

With very few exceptions, dogs are happiest and the most well-behaved when they receive daily exercise and ongoing training, so we always prefer to place our dogs with families who are willing to make a commitment to both.
