My story

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


Meet Snickers – The King-Size Goofball!

If you’ve ever wished your favorite candy bar could come to life as a giant, wiggly, affectionate dog… congratulations. Your dreams have come true. Meet Snickers, a 1-year-and-4-month-old Mastiff mix who is basically a 90-pound marshmallow rolled in sweetness. Snickers came in with his sister (she got adopted — classic sibling luck), and now he’s hoping it’s his turn to melt someone’s heart. This lovable lug is all about hugs — big, full-body, “I love you already” hugs. He knows “sit,” takes treats gently, and is extremely motivated by snacks. Honestly, he thinks every life problem can be solved with treats. He’s not wrong.

Leash walking? He’s working on it. Sometimes he’s a majestic Mastiff, sometimes he’s a confused baby giraffe. Either way, he’s adorable and very trainable… especially if treats are involved (which he would like to remind you they always should be). Snickers is affectionate, silly, eager to please, and ready to trade you unlimited hugs for a place to call home. Come meet him — he’s sweet, soft, and impossible not to love
