About Snickers Mar

Snickers Mar is a small toy poodle mix with a gentle heart and a playful streak, just reaching the start of his life as a true companion. Raised in a breeding facility, Snickers missed the basics that most dogs get early on—things like warmth, gentle touch, and steady affection—so at first, he keeps his distance from people. He tends to shy away when approached, but with patience and plenty of time, he can learn that people are safe. Snickers absolutely needs to live with another confident, dog-social pup who can help guide him. He lights up around canine friends, showing bursts of joyful play, and another dog’s company will be crucial for his comfort and development. He isn’t suitable for first-time owners or homes with young children; he’ll need calm, consistency, and an experienced hand to help him come out of his shell. Snickers doesn’t need a fenced yard, and though he’s a young dog with medium energy, he isn’t built for strenuous activity. His knees may require future attention—keeping his weight ideal will help. If you’re ready to offer patience, routine, and another playful dog, Snickers Mar could become a wonderful companion as he learns to trust. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
