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, we 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 and an active family that enjoys outdoor activities. Families with a true intention to rescue a dog, who have an open conscience about the needs of rescue animals, and are 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 is essential.

Ongoing Health

Snickers has a negative heartworm test certificate, is microchipped, and has received all age-appropriate vaccinations including DHPPI, Rabies, and Bordetella. He is up-to-date on deworming and flea/tick/heartworm prevention (Nexgard Spectra). He also has a spay/neuter certificate and a health certificate.

Training & Support

Snickers is not house-trained and will require guidance and plenty of appropriate chew toys. Patience and understanding are crucial for rescued dogs as they adjust to a new environment and build trust.
