Adoptable Dog of the Week: Snoopy Will Steal Your Heart

This week's adoptable dog is Snoopy, a Labrador Retreiver mix.

Snoopy (ID# A053270) is a one-and-a-half-year-old spayed female who loves to play. This little girl has a lot of energy and a fun personality. She knows how to sit and will settle down quickly for a treat. Snoopy has been with Manatee County Animal Services since Sept. 19 when she was picked up as a stray. She is ready to find a forever home today and would like nothing better than to spend Christmas with your family.

You can visit Snoopy today at the county's downtown adoption center. Adoptions, which include spay/neuter, vaccinations, health check, and microchip, are $80 for dogs, plus a $10 license fee for those in Manatee County, and $60 for cats, plus the license fee. The downtown adoption center is open  from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. The center will be closed this coming Tuesday for Christmas.
