Oh, let me tell you about Snickers! This sweet soul, who joined the rescue family in 2023 under such sad circumstances—his beloved musher passed away from cancer. But don't let that shy demeanor fool you; once Snickers feels your love, he transforms into a ball of affection! ❤️ This furry friend is simply bursting with energy, and he's looking for a partner who shares his zest for life! Imagine being out on the trails, feeling the wind in your hair as you and Snickers hike together, or perhaps you're more of the running or biking type? Well, Snickers could be the perfect companion for those adventures! If he receives the right training, he might even excel as your skijoring or bikejoring buddy! 🎉 Now, before diving into this heartwarming journey of adopting a retiring sled dog, there are some important things to consider. Our adorable sled dogs are used to an outdoor lifestyle and, let’s be honest, adopting one is like welcoming a cheeky puppy into your home. He’ll need to be house trained and introduced to the wonderful, yet bewildering, world of house stimuli—think stairs, vacuums, and shiny wood floors! 🏠 Remember, Snickers—and his fellow sled pals—are high-energy pups. They thrive with lots of daily walks and engaging toys to keep them entertained indoors. A bored sled dog is a recipe for mischief, and trust me, anxiety can sneak in too! 🐾 Safety is key! These dogs are trained to run, which makes them a high flight risk. It’s crucial to keep Snickers on a leash or within a securely fenced yard until he’s received the proper recall training. And while many of our sled dogs have played with kitties in their new homes, it’s wise to supervise any interactions with small pets. 🐈 So, if you’re ready for the delightful chaos that Snickers can bring, and you're committed to giving him a fulfilling life full of adventures and companionship, remember: apply to adopt this sweet boy through the Buddy App! Your new best friend is waiting! 💖
