My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Honoring the Petco Foundation's Love Changes Everything Adoption Weekend my adoption fee has been reduced to $200 through March 10th so stop in because after-all, love is priceless!

Snickers is what they call me here! I am a sweet and sometimes goofy fellow now that I feel at home. I am an adult rescue from down south so everything up here is new from the taste of the water to the sound of your accents! I am an affectionate guy who was a bit nervous when I first arrived but now my playful and puppy-like side shines through. I love attention and belly rubs. I need to practice some of my manners like keeping all four paws on the floor and that hands are not toys but my intent is to play and be affectionate, I just need a bit more guidance is all. I am nervous around cars so need more practice walking by them and climbing in and out of them, food rewards and patience go a real long way. The folks here think I am about 3 years old and I was lucky enough to travel here from the south, just so I could find my family! No one knows my whole history but the folks here believe I am a boxer mix. I am considered a special needs adoption because shortly after being rescued it was realized that I had heartworm. I was a good boy through my treatment and am ready to be adopted but the folks here want my new parents to be aware that they will need to restrict my exercise for a while so just leash walks for us and follow up with their own veterinarian to make sure my treatment was successful. I am looking for a family with children 12 years and older and who is ready for their next great love. So what do you say, are you willing to take a chance on me?
