Snickers is a little toy poodle with a playful spirit and a gentle heart who is just beginning to learn what life as a beloved pet can be. Raised in a breeding facility, he missed out on the everyday experiences most dogs take for granted, so human touch and affection can still feel scary and unfamiliar to him. When nervous, Snickers will skitter away and try to create distance - he simply needs patience, understanding, and time to feel safe.
Must have: A home with another dog and an experienced rescuer.
Exercise: Medium. Snickers is a young dog. He does have knees that may require surgery as he ages. Appropriate weight maintenance is going to be important. He's also not built to run marathons with you.
Best with: A calm, consistent, patient home that will offer him time and space to blossom into a confident dog.
Not ideal for: First time dog owners, homes with young children, or homes looking for a dog that is going to snuggle immediately.
Energy level: Medium
What Snickers does know is how to be a dog with other dogs! He absolutely must have a confident canine companion in his forever home to help show him the ropes and give him comfort. Around other dogs, his silly, playful side starts to shine through, and you’ll see glimpses of the happy little pup he is becoming.
Good with dogs: Definitely - he needs them
Good with kids: Snickers has never lived with kids. Maybe if your kids are older and patient and will give him space.
Cats: Snickers has never lived with cats. If you have them, let us know and we can test him.
Fun fact: As timid as Snickers is about human touch, he is playful with canine companions.
