Story
Meet Bingo, a 5-year-old Jack Russell and Chihuahua mix with a big personality in a small package. This little guy found himself at the shelter after his owner could no longer care for him, and now he's searching for a patient and understanding home. Bingo isn’t a fan of small spaces and needs room to feel safe and secure. He can be wary of strangers, but once he warms up, he’s incredibly sweet and loyal. He thrives in a calm, quiet environment and would do best in a home without young children (16+ recommended). Bingo is looking for an adopter who will respect his space, give him time to build trust, and provide the love he deserves. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who just needs a little patience, Bingo might be the perfect match!

Story
*Adoption pending!* Im currently on a little adventure called "foster to adopt" this means a wonderful family came to the shelter, fell in love with me, and decided to take me home for 1 week to make sure I'm the perfect fit for their family. During this time, I'm not available for adoption as we all get to know each other better. Adoption is a big decision, and we want to make sure its best for everyone involved, including myself! Paws crossed that I find my forever home soon!

Story
Meet Lady! She is a young girl, about 3 years old. She is a chihuahua and weighs around 12 lbs. She is a happy little girl who loves to snuggle, she likes to sit on a lap or snuggle under a soft blanket. She loves walks and will dance around when she sees her harness. She is happy to nap in her bed or on the couch while her owner is away at work and will do excited twirls to greet them when they return home. House training is a work in progress but she is doing very well!! She has done very well with other dogs of all sizes in her foster home as well as with cats - as long as she doesn't have to share her food with them! She would prefer no children in her home, their loud quick movements are a bit overwhelming for her.

To apply to adopt, fill out an application at https://snarrnortheast.org/adopt/ FAQs -- PLEASE READ ALL BEFORE EMAILING All adoption fees are non-refundable If paying by credit card, Venmo, or PayPal there is a set processing fee, generally this fee is under $15 per pet.

Please note that SNARR NE is a volunteer-based organization. While our volunteers will try to respond to you as quickly as possible, it is helpful if you review the below information about our adoption process before emailing: LISTED BREED(S) & AGE: We are taking our best guess on age, breed, and size when fully grown, based on the puppy's/dog's physical appearance and what we might have learned about one or both parents depending on the situation. *NOTE* We rarely know a dog's exact age, nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. Because we often do not have access to medical records at the time that we are listing for dogs for adoption, there are sometimes discrepancies between what is posted on their profile and what might be listed on a dog's medical records. SNARR'S ADOPTION PROCESS: The first step in adopting or meeting a SNARR dog/puppy is to fill out an application at https://snarrnortheast.org/adopt/. Once we receive your application, one of our adoption application processors will contact you, review our adoption process with you, and answer any additional questions you may have. **We do not go on a first-come-first-serve basis for adoptions, but on best fit for a family and most importantly the puppy or dog. ** MEETING ADOPTABLE DOGS: Meet and greets will not be scheduled until after your adoption application has been fully processed and approved by one of our adoption processors. APPLYING ONLINE: If you fill out an online application, please do so from a computer (not a mobile device), make sure you answer ALL the questions in as much detail as possible, and that you receive a confirmation email.
