Snoops at Dogs Trust Snetterton finds home after 678 days

Snoops, an eight-year-old crossbreed, has finally swapped life in Dogs Trust Snetterton’s so-called 'Lonely Hearts Club' for a forever home in Suffolk.

The dog, who spent 16,272 hours in the shelter's care, was adopted on May 26 by Nicole from Stowmarket.

"He is so chilled and happy, he is going to be just fine with us," she said. "He is such a good boy and is getting better at seeing other dogs every time, and we just love him so much." 

According to Dogs Trust, Snoops may have been passed over for so long due to his weight, as he tips the scales at more than six stone, making him heavier than 18 watermelons.

He was also known to get nervous around other dogs, but was said to have been "making good progress" with carers from the charity.

Nicole commemorated the milestone by giving Snoops a celebratory Pup Cup, a portion of whipped cream... which went down a treat.

Snoops is not the only plus-size pooch to have found a loving home after spending more than two years at Dogs Trust Snetterton.

Loki Boy, a six-year-old German shepherd weighing more than five and a half stone, was recently taken in by a couple after 850 days at the shelter.
