Adopt This Montclair Dog: Snaggle

The Montclair Township Animal Shelter has a plethora of dogs and cats ready for adoption.

This playful poodle could use some more space to run around in. 

Snaggle is an 8-year-old poodle mix up for adoption from the Montclair Animal Shelter. He is an energetic, small, 20-pound dog that loves to play with toys, and is friendly with children and other dogs. 

Snaggle was rescued by the Animal Shelter and has made a full recovery from when he was found. Picked up as a stray, Snaggle had matted hair and a progressed case of dental disease caused possibly by trauma to his face. But a trip the emergency room and a haircut have given Snaggle a new lease on life — and a new name!

As Snaggle's hair continues to grow back, it will be curly and apricot in color. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. The adoption fee is $150.
