Snickers

Snickers is an adorable Chihuahua boy weighing about 7.7 lbs. He is social with dogs, children, men, and women, and he loves meeting new friends. This little guy is full of joy and energy. Snickers enjoys running, playing, and being part of the action. He is a small dog with a big personality and a loving heart. He is not a frequent barker and is happiest when he is surrounded by people and companionship. Snickers sleeps in an open crate at night and is comfortable going in and out on his own. He is still young and curious, so chewing is one of his favorite hobbies. Snickers was born in a home where his future was uncertain. As a tiny puppy, he was promised a secure life, but those plans quickly changed. When the puppies became older and required more care, they were neglected and sometimes left without food. Eventually, rescue stepped in to help ensure they would have the opportunity to find loving homes. Now Snickers is thriving and looking for a family that will love him for the rest of his life. He is ready to trade uncertainty for security, and he has so much love to give in return.

Ideal Home

A home with a fenced backyard, an active family that enjoys outdoor activities, and a family with a genuine intention to rescue a dog. Families should have an open mind about the needs of rescued animals and be willing to provide protection and education. Experience in dog behavior and training is preferred, or a willingness to hire a trainer. High tolerance and patience for rescued puppies are a must.

Ongoing Health

Snickers has undergone a comprehensive health protocol including: spay/neuter certificate, 2 shots of DHPPI vaccine, rabies vaccine, Bordetella vaccine, deworming, microchip, 4DX test and certificate, negative heartworm test certificate, monthly preventive protection with Nexgard Spectra, and has a health certificate and vaccine booklet.

Training & Support

Snickers is not house-trained and will require patience and guidance. His future family should be prepared to provide appropriate chew toys to redirect his chewing habits. Understanding that rescued dogs may have fears and anxieties due to past experiences is crucial. Patience, understanding, and establishing a routine will help build trust and strengthen the bond with Snickers.
