Snoop Dogg wished to adopt an abandoned dog after it went viral in 2019
In 2019, Rachel Butler, the regional manager of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), posted surveillance footage on social media showing a bull terrier being abandoned by its owner in England. The owner dropped the dog off from the car and drove away. The RSPCA rescued the dog and named him Snoop, after the rapper.
The video quickly went viral, prompting the 53-year-old rapper to offer to adopt the dog. Speaking to The Daily Star, Snoop Dogg was ready to take Snoop in. He doubted Snoop would get any shortage of "loving homes," as the clip received much attention from netizens.
"There is always room for another dog in Casa de Snoop. If he really needed a home then he has one with us. But I don't think there is going to be any shortage of loving homes after all the exposure he has got," the rapper stated.
Rachel Butler later told People that Snoop was doing well in private kennels, calling him a "lovely friendly dog."
"Snoop is currently staying at private kennels and I'm happy to say that he is doing really well and is getting a lot of fuss and attention from staff there. He is a lovely friendly dog and a lot of people have fallen in love with him!" Butler said.
At the time, the regional manager of the RSPCA stated that they were investigating Snoop's abandonment and were certain that the bull terrier would find a new home, as many people had shown interest in adopting him.
"At the moment he isn't up for rehoming while our investigation into his abandonment is ongoing. However, we have had scores of people wanting to rehome him so we are certain he will not be waiting long for a new home," she stated.
As reported by Billboard, Snoop Dogg launched his pet products line, Snoop Doggie Doggs, on November 15, 2022. The brand offers a range of pet products, including harnesses, toys, bowls, bandanas, hats, leashes, clothes, and collars.
