I'm Travis and I was rescued from a neglectful situation where I lived outdoors chained up. Now 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 enjoy the security of my crate and I am still skittish, but I like romping with my foster mom in the yard--I give her dog kisses lots of the time. I could be a loyal canine companion to someone who would take the time to show me that I can trust her to be kind and gentle. I am practicing 'come' and 'sit'--I get treats when I do those things--yum!! I am housetrained, and I enjoy going for walks with the girl dog who lives here. I would do best in a single-dog setting with no kitties, or maybe with a friendly female dog for a pal. Could you please be my HERO and adopt me? I hope someone will think I deserve a better life than what I had for so many years at the end of a chain. Your love could make a world of difference to me!
Travis is in a loving foster home, but he needs a forever home--can you help him out? Call SNIPPP at 530 336-6006 or snippp@frontiernet.net SNIPPP is willing to arrange transportion for Travis to an approved home outside of our normal area; inquiries from southern California and adjoining states are welcomed.
More about Travis
Not Good with Cats
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
