Snicker Doodle | Male | Mixed Breed |
Rescue Story:
I first came to Zoe's as part of their Helping Hands program. I was living in a rural community and came home one day with an injury from being hit by a vehicle (we think) and with porcupine quills. Zoe's helped get me fixed up and back home, but just a few days later I ended up getting quilled again. After healing up a second time my family decided to surrender me so I wouldn't get into more trouble and could live the indoor life.
Date of Birth: February 17, 2024 (est)
Energy Level: Medium - I like a good play but also know how to chill
Size (adult): Medium (approx 55lbs)
Adoption Fee: $425 But can you really put a price on happiness!
Good with Dogs? Yes
I currently live with two other dogs and we all get along well and love to play!
Good with Cats? No
Those felines make me a little nervous and I will chase if they run so I'd do best in a home without any.
Good with Kids? Yes
I am sweet and gentle and would do well with kids.
Critter Twitter:
Hi! I’m Snicker, your future best buddy and certified goofball! I’m a happy, playful guy who loves everyone I meet, especially kids and other dogs. I’ve got that classic “goober energy” - the kind that makes people laugh and smile wherever I go. I’m super friendly and love hanging out with my people, whether we’re playing, cuddling, or going for a ride (I’m awesome in the car, by the way!). When I’m really happy, I let out this adorable little “woo woo” to show my excitement. I’m also a smart boy who loves learning new things, especially if it means treats or scritches. Cuddles are one of my favorite ways to recharge after playtime. If you’re looking for a joyful, loving, and silly sidekick, I’m your guy.
About my Behaviour:
I am adjusting really well to being an indoor dog. I haven't had any accidents in my foster home and am doing well with crate training. I sleep in my crate and go in there when my foster parents go out. I do prefer being with you though, so it would be great if you're not gone long hours. I get along well with other dogs but do get a bit overexcited and vocal when seeing dogs on my walks. My ideal home would have another dog to keep me company and a yard for us to romp around in. I'm a happy, friendly young pup who will sometimes jump or gently mouth your arm when I get really excited. To ensure we get off on the right paw, my adopters will be required to sign up for force-free training. You can find a list of great trainers at www.albertaforcefreealliance.com.
How’s my Health?
I am neutered, up to date on my vaccinations, dewormed and microchipped. I came to Zoe's after being quilled by a porcupine and with a soft tissue injury to my back we think from being hit by a car. I am all healed up and doing well but there is always a chance quills can migrate out and appear so you will want to monitor for any new lumps/bumps.
