Here's what the humans have to say about me:
12/01/2014: Snickers is a 1 year old 9+ lb Yorkie mix being fostered in Suwanee, Ga just north of Atlanta.
Snickers is young; he has good manners and is working hard on his house training. His original family kept him locked up by himself in a garage until one day a very nice lady with a huge heart rescued him and took him home. The trauma of being separated in the garage and away from any form of love and affection has caused Snickers to suffer from separation anxiety, which manifests in destructive behavior when left alone and has exacerbated his chewing habit. Because his hero rescuer mommy and daddy worked 8-10 hours a day, this was causing Snickers a lot of unhappy days. His mommy cried when she surrendered him to UYR but she knew that he'd be happier where someone was home for most of the day.
Snickers does fine in a crate for an hour or two, but after that he begins to get very anxious and often has accidents in his crate. He's just a puppy and so, while he isn't aggressive, he IS very curious about cats. His ideal home would be one where someone is home most of the day and has the time and energy to keep this puppy exercised and comforted. He’d love a home where he could run outside and play with another dog or two. Snickers loves to play! He's not a lap dog - yet - but he does like to sleep in bed with his owner and at his person's feet where, if he can get it, he will take a good scritching from any available toes.
Snickers is still a puppy and loves to play! We think he’d make a great agility dog! What a wonderful way to burn energy for both owner and pet? Snickers loves to chew on his toys. It takes a sharp-eyed person to make sure Snickers only plays with and chews on his approved toys. His foster dads keep him busy with appropriate things to chew on like Bully Sticks and Antler chews (NO RAWHIDE!!). Snickers is tall for a Yorkie and has springs in his legs. He’d be a great companion for someone who loves to walk and hike; he even enjoys car rides, so someone that has an active lifestyle that accommodates an active doggy companion would be a perfect home for this playful puppy.
Snickers wanted to speak for himself..........
Hi! I’m Snickers. I don’t know why they call me that, but my FD says it must be because I’m the same colors as something called a Snickers bar. FD says I’m a perfect companion. I love to go on car rides and keep my FD from getting lonely. I met something called a KAT today…it sure is a funny smelling dog and it hit me on my nose when all I was doing was trying to say hello. Now why would Mr. Kat do that? I just wanted to be friends! I like everyone I’ve met since I got out of that awful garage. All these new people have been so kind and loving to me. I’m just trying to do the same thing for them. I really can’t wait to know where I’m going to be and who I’m going to love for the rest of my life. Will it be you? Please ?
INITIAL BIO 11-08-2014: MEET SNICKERS! He is still a puppy and is only 1 y/o; he weighs approximately 10 lbs. Snickers is being fostered in Suwanee, Georgia
From Foster Dad: Even though Snickers is young, he has good manners and appears to be nearly house-trained. I'm sure he'll have an 'accident' or two, but he's been great so far. His original family kept him locked by himself in a garage until finally a very nice lady with a huge heart rescued him and took him home. The trauma of being separated from his family for the first year of his life in the garage, he also didn't receive any form of love and affection; unfortunately, this lack of socialization and love has caused Snickers to suffer from separation anxiety. Because his hero rescuer mommy and daddy worked 8-10 hours a day, this was causing Snickers a lot of unhappy and lonely days. His mommy cried when she surrendered him to UYR, but she knew that he'd be happier where someone was home for most of the day.
