My story

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

This dog is a courtesy listing and not one of our dogs. Please contact the email listed in this post.

Snacks (short for Saranac) is a 6–7 year old, 100 lb Pitbull mix with a heart as big as he is. Rescued from a shelter in Kansas when he was about a year old, he’s grown into the most loyal, goofy, and gentle companion. His favorite things in the world are cuddles on the couch, spending time with his humans, and enjoying quiet outdoor adventures. Snacks is neutered, fully vaccinated, house-trained, and knows his basic commands. He’s healthy (despite having lost some teeth in a run-in with a rock on a hike!) and has so much love left to give.

 

Unfortunately, he has gotten out of his yard a few times and had several altercations with neighbor dogs. These incidents have made it clear that he needs an environment where he won’t be stressed by frequent dog encounters. His current family is heartbroken, but know that finding him the right home is the best choice for Snacks and for everyone’s safety.

 

Why You’ll Love Him:

·        Loves all humans — strangers included

·        Amazing with kids (currently lives with a 1 & 4 year old)

·        Big cuddlebug and total couch potato

·        Enjoys the outdoors, quiet walks, and being by your side

 

What He Needs:

·        Experienced owner who can manage his leash reactivity (he struggles walking past other dogs and because of this walks are easier in calm or rural areas)

·        Secure fenced yard where he can safely enjoy outside time

·        A home where he won’t be constantly triggered by dogs passing by

·        Gets along with dog-friendly pups only after an experienced owner can give a proper intro. He lived with a dog for several years.

·        No cats

Snacks is located in Breckenridge, CO, but his current family is willing to travel to help Snacks find his perfect home.
