If you have a soft spot for the shy ones, the "wallflowers," and the underdogs, then Snickerdoodle is waiting for you.
Rescued in December after being left outdoors with her sisters, Snickerdoodle is a petite 3-year-old, 9-pound mix of Dachshund, Rat Terrier, and maybe a dash of Chihuahua. Because she spent her early life unsocialized and away from the comforts of a home, the human world still feels a bit like a mystery to her, but she is learning every day that she is safe. Snickerdoodle isn't looking for a high-adventure lifestyle just yet. She has spent the last few months decompressing in her foster home and is finally ready to find her "person." Watching a dog like Snickerdoodle realize they are finally loved is one of the most rewarding experiences a pet parent can have. Are you the patient soul she's been waiting for?
Ideal Home
Her perfect match is a patient, quiet home that understands her "slow and steady" pace. Because she is very timid and fast, Snickerdoodle is not yet ready for leash walks or being unleashed in a fenced yard. She is still a "flight risk" and can be very difficult to catch if she gets spooked. She needs a home that is happy to keep her world small and safe for now.
Ongoing Health
She is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines, and currently finishing her heartworm treatment.
Training & Support
She is a smart girl and is mostly potty pad trained, making her a great fit for apartment living or for adopters who prefer an indoor routine while she builds her confidence. She needs someone who won't rush her for cuddles, but rather someone who will let her come to them when she's ready.
