She has handled the change with grace and positivity, showing every day just how loving and resilient she is. Snickers is: ✨ Great with children ✨ Friendly with everyone she meets ✨ Playful, social, and people-oriented ✨ Ready to be the star of her new family If you’re looking for a joyful, affectionate companion who’s always ready to join the fun, Snickers is your girl.
