Snickers ***On Hold***

Snickers was picked up in a very rural area 30 minutes from albury and so may have been a working dog who didn't make it or simply a lost pet. Either way he is a stunner with a silky soft coat and a personality to die for. Snickers has been in foster care for a couple of weeks now during a period of really revolting weather where he hasn't been able to get the exercise we'd like to give him but he has coped with it admirably. Whilst he can be quite active he also has an off switch and, once he realises that it is time to calm down, he settles beautifully. He is very dog social and would make a great companion for another dog but would be equally good on his own where he can be included in the family. He enjoys going for a walk and a couple of minutes sees him walking beautifully alongside you and stopping when you stop. He is the sort of dog who is dying for a master who will spend time with him and include him in their activities. He would be wasted in a backyard on his own and would, no doubt, find destructive ways to amuse himself. Snickers really loves kids and is very responsive to them - he can even be walked safely by an 8 year old boy or settle calmly next to him for a pat. He also likes to lie in the kid's laps for a cuddle. Most dogs who come into a pound have bad habits and snickers is no exception. He loves to jump for attention, both onto people and leaping straight up into the air next to them. He is quite easy to correct but, as the video shows, needs more work in this regard and his foster carers will continue to work with him. He is currently going for an hour's walk most days and this would be something his new owners would need to have time for. Snickers is really such a great dog that we'd love to see him go to a home that is interested in doing some obedience and that enjoys making their pets part of the family.
