Snorkel

Foster dog available

Snorkel is fun and loving. However, he’s too big to play with cats so would be best in a cat-free home. He loves to be played with and he loves to love and snuggle. Snorkel needs a house with a yard. He gets along with everybody - adults, kids, dogs and cats. Snorkel was rescued from an abusive home but is a very good boy. Snorkel cannot be chained and he was clearly hit when he was abused. Snorkel is house-trained and will bark when he needs to use the bathroom. He has to be fed separately from any other pets. He loves treats and laying on pillows.
