About Snickers

Snickers is eager for a calm, steady home where he can thrive. He’s deeply loyal, happiest around his people, and especially loves older children who know how to give him space. At first, Snickers is cautious—new faces and unfamiliar places make him a bit nervous. He’ll need a patient family to help him find his confidence, but once settled, he gives his whole heart. Some of his favorite things are relaxing naps, hanging out in the yard, sharing cuddles, and, of course, mealtime. Snickers does best in a quiet home—if you have a busy household with kids constantly bringing friends over, this probably isn’t his scene. He gets along well with other dogs and with cats who know the ropes. Car rides and bustling neighborhoods still make him uneasy, though he’s slowly making progress there. Snickers tips the scales at 26 pounds and comes neutered, housebroken, current on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and crate trained. Breed guesses cover everything from Chihuahua and Beagle to Lab and Basenji—really, he’s a true mutt with plenty of character. Snickers was born in a foster home on March 28, 2023, making him an Aries, known for their determination and spirit. He’s looking for the right place and people to call his own.
