About Snickerdoodle
If you’re drawn to the quiet, reserved dogs who need a little extra patience, Snickerdoodle will resonate with you. At three years old and just nine pounds, she’s a mix of Dachshund, Rat Terrier, and possibly Chihuahua, making her both petite and gentle. Her early life outside with her sisters left her wary of new experiences—much of the world still feels new and strange. But every day, she’s building trust and realizing that safety and comfort are possible. Rather than heading out on big city walks or park adventures, Snickerdoodle is content keeping her circle small for now. She is still timid and lightning quick, so she isn’t ready for leash walks or even free time in a fenced yard—she could dash away if startled. Because of this, she’ll do best in a patient, low-stress household willing to let her confidence grow at her pace, keeping her routine simple and secure. She’s smart, mostly potty pad trained, and her habits make her well-suited to apartment life or adopters who appreciate a more indoor approach. Recent months in foster care have helped her decompress, and she’s shown sweetness in her subtle, cautious way. Cuddles are on her terms, and she flourishes with someone who lets her come to them without pressure. Medically, Snickerdoodle is spayed, microchipped, current with vaccines, and wrapping up heartworm treatment. If you want the reward of seeing a shy dog blossom with real love, Snickerdoodle is ready for a gentle home to call her own. She’s in New Orleans, LA, searching for a patient adopter who will let her go slow and steady. Start your journey together! Apply now.
