About Snickers

Meet Snickers, a delightful Miniature Poodle weighing 10 pounds and 2 years and 9 months old. He has a lovely apricot-and-white coat and a personality full of love. Snickers came to the rescue after facing challenges in his previous home, where he became nervous around the senior dog. Despite this, he thrives around people and is a true lap dog who enjoys both treats and cuddling close to his favorite humans. This smart little guy is fully housetrained and even uses potty bells to signal when he needs to go outside. Snickers would greatly benefit from ongoing obedience training to help him feel secure. He has recovered well from a previous leg surgery with no lingering issues. It's important for him to catch up on vaccines and to be neutered.
