Story
Looking for a sweet little old lady to spend her golden years spoiling? Meet Snyder, a mixed breed senior who is 10 years or older, weighing 18 pounds with a short black and tan coat. She was rescued from a shelter, and she has been soaking up all of life's simple pleasures ever since. Snyder is obsessed with two things above all else: food and naps. Mention a treat bag and she will come running, selective hearing won’t apply. She loves sunbathing, lounging on the balcony, and going on slow, meandering sniff walks. Give her a scratch behind the ears and call her a good girl, and she will light right up. This is a girl who has more than earned a soft, comfortable place to call her own. Snyder is fully potty trained and does great with an exercise pen rather than a crate. She is very content to be left to her own devices for a while, and she is quiet enough to be a great fit for a home with shared walls. She loves her walks, though she is more of a zigzagging sniffer at the moment than a structured leash walker, and with a little time and patience she would likely learn to walk nicely on one side. A yard is not required, but daily walks are essential since they are one of her favorite parts of the day. She is a little nervous riding elevators but will do so just fine with some gentle encouragement. She is not fond of loud noises. Snyder is the biggest love bug once she feels safe and gets to warm up at her own pace. With her people, she happily accepts pets and cuddles and will even let you handle her paws without any fuss. Because she is an older girl who can be skittish with unfamiliar people, she does best without children in the home, and any new people in her life will need to let her come to them rather than reaching out first. She would be a wonderful match for a retired or work-from-home household, or any calm adult home ready to give her the patience she deserves. NO BIG DOGS IN HOME. With other small dogs, Snyder gets along great and is especially fond of the resident dachshund in her foster home. She is a little more cautious around larger dogs but has never shown any aggression toward them. At mealtime she is polite and gentle, and she takes treats from the hand just as sweetly. Her one exception is collagen chews, which she likes to enjoy undisturbed in her pen, and she is perfectly happy to have any other treat or bone taken from her without any issue. As a senior girl, Snyder takes daily supplements to help keep her comfortable and moving well, simple additions to her routine rather than anything complicated. She travels great in the car and loves to nap either up front beside her person or settled into the back seat once she has had a few minutes to relax. Snyder is available for adoption from Miami, Florida. Please textTammy Simmons at 612.298.2614 with any questions or complete an adoption application.
