Snickers is the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart before you even realize it’s happened.
He’s a sweet, gentle little guy who may be a bit unsure at first, but he warms up within a few minutes and then happily settles in with his people. Snickers is so quiet and well-mannered that you may forget he’s even there — until he curls up next to you, preferably under a cozy blanket, ready for cuddles. He truly loves being close and enjoys lap time, affection, and calm companionship.
Snickers does well with adult men and women, children over 10, and small dogs. He has a moderate energy level and a lovely balance of playfulness and relaxation. He enjoys toys, rides well in the car, and is both leash trained and crate trained. He’s eager to please, intelligent, gentle, and affectionate, with a shy, tender side that makes him especially endearing.
When he’s happy to see you, Snickers doesn’t just wag his tail — he wags his whole body. It’s impossible not to smile when he does. He likes being outside, but he much prefers being indoors with his people where he feels safest and most content.
Snickers came from a shelter in rough condition, with matted fur and skin issues that required grooming and care. Despite that difficult start, he has shown nothing but sweetness and resilience. There are no major challenges noted — he simply thrives with attention, toys, and a soft blanket to snuggle into. He may bark briefly in his kennel if other dogs around him are barking, but he settles when redirected.
Snickers would do best in a home where he can spend plenty of time indoors with his people, soaking up love and affection. If you’re looking for a quiet, cuddly companion with a gentle soul and a heart full of love, Snickers may be the perfect match for you!
This pet is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm disease and is available through our Foster-to-Adopt (FTA) program. Activity must be restricted for several weeks during recovery. RSR will cover the full cost of treatment. RSR will provide heartworm preventatives until the retest is due.
