SNIPPP needs FOSTER HOMES in Northeastern California's Modoc, Lassen, and Shasta counties! Our ability to rescue companion animals like the one you're viewing right now depends on us having safe, loving foster homes for them to go to. Can you give an animal in need a second chance by opening your heart and home?

I'm Freckles and I was rescued from a location where 20 dogs were all chained up, living outside with little or no protection from the weather. We were all heartworm positive, but now I've gone through treatment, been spayed, and can be adopted. I know I'd like the chance to make a permanent change! Now that I've been in a foster home, I've learned that sleeping on a soft bed, spending time indoors, and having someone to pet me, brush me, and treat me special are wonderful things. I am a polite, calm girl--I love to go out for a walk, check on what the other dogs are doing, and I don't bark or chew things up. A proper introduction and supervision are definitely required with other dogs, but after that I may be fine. I wait calmly in my crate and don't go potty indoors. I am a bit of a 'chow hound'--I love to eat, so I need to get out and exercise on a regular basis to stay at a reasonable weight! I hope someone will think I deserve a better life than what I had for so many years. Your love could make a world of difference to me!
Freckles is in a loving foster home, but still needs a forever home of her own--can you help her out? Contact SNIPPP at 530 336-6476 or snippp@frontiernet.net

Good with Kids
Special Needs: Freckles' vision is not 100%; sometimes sudden movements catch her off guard, so a calm adult home might be best for her.
SNIPPP prefers to have adoptive homes within the northern California counties of SHASTA, LASSEN, MODOC, SISKIYOU, TRINITY, TEHAMA, and HUMBOLDT to make it easier to do home checks and transport adopted animals to their new homes. Although we are willing to make exceptions, especially in cases of animals with special placement needs, the costs and arrangements for additional transportation outside this area may need to be handled by the adopting individual or family.
SNIPPP requires an adoption contract, a home check, veterinary references, and a $100 adoption fee. All SNIPPP animals are spayed or neutered (unless they are not yet old enough, in which case adopters will be required to provide proof of spay/neuter at the appropriate time and will be entitled to a $50 refund). They are all up-to-date on vaccinations, have received appropriate veterinary care, and are micro-chipped. If they are dogs at least 6 months old, they have been tested for heartworm and are on preventative.
Some of the animals on our website are COURTESY LISTINGS. Different adoption requirements may apply for these animals, and they may not have received the same level of veterinary care; please ASK the person offering the animal for adoption any questions you have regarding vaccinations or health status. SNIPPP makes no warranties as to the validity of statements made regarding the personal charateristics of animals listed on a courtesy basis. Adopters are advised to consult with a veterinarian or animal behavior professional to confirm health or temperament characteristics of any animal considered for adoption.
Completing an Adoption Application does not guarantee that you will be able to adopt from SNIPPP; our primary concern is with finding the most appropriate homes for the animals in our care. Many of them have gone through rough times, and need an especially understanding person to help them realize their full potential. To complete an application, you will need to register on our website.
Many of our adoptable pets are at Redding Petco, 1603 Hilltop Drive, from noon to 4 the fourth Saturday of the month. We look forward to seeing you there! If you have applied and are approved as an adopter, we can arrange for you to meet individual pets you may be interested in at other times, too. SNIPPP PO Box 223 MCARTHUR, CA 96056
