ADOPTED ON 12-19-15 - Snickers is a very energetic and happy little boy and is always excited to see you, he loves to run and play. Snickers is an absolutely adorable 2 year old, 20 pound, male Scottish Terrier Mix that was picked up from city streets in Louisiana by animal control. No one knows if he was lost or just dropped there, but sadly he sat in the pound for 35 days, and all efforts to reunite him with his family failed. No one called to claim him and his time ran out. He was scheduled to be euthanized. Luckily an angel saved him just in time and he was placed in foster care.
Snickers loves the other dogs he lives with and gets himself right in the middle when it is tie to play no matter how big the other dogs are. He is great with children and other adults but does not seem to appreciate cats too much. He has a lot of energy and loves to chase balls, run, take long walks, then snuggle up at the end of the day. He does very well on a leash and in a car. He is not a fussy eater and loves getting treats. He will tolerate a crate for a short time but much prefers to be with everyone else. Like anything else, proper training, consistency, and lots of love usually works out any kinks.
Snickers has never had a problem with interacting with another dogs and gets along with all dogs of all size; he's the one that is thrilled to be on the bottom of the pile in wrestling because he loves to be energetic and rambunctious. Snickers wants to be right in the middle of whatever is going on whether it be snuggling watching TV or playing outdoors and being rough and rowdy he always wants to be in the middle of it and knows his limits when it is time to stop.
Snickers adores his human family and enjoys being with them, and likes nothing better than a cuddle. If he should have to decide between undivided attention and a walk in the rain we are truly not certain which he would choose. He is a very happy go lucky energetic little dog that would do well if he had a fenced yard where he can have plenty of outdoor activities several times a day or if your yard is not fenced in, he would love to go on hikes and long walks with an active family.
Snickers is a sweet, happy little boy who would be a great addition to any active family. He has had a rough going his first 2 years and deserves a warm, loving forever home to call his own.

Our rescue is ONLY in the business of offering FULL DISCLOSURE to adopters, and expects and hopes to engage your questions and concerns fully. We owe it to the dogs we rescue and all the wonderful families/adopters who might consider welcoming our charges into their hearts and home. Our dogs are waiting for that ideal forever home where they will be cherished as deserving family members. It's sad these second chances are even necessary for these dogs, but we are committed to them and will devote the time and energy to their rehoming, and not just MOVE them to save more dogs. We diligently and responsibly seek good matches as we don't want to re-home the dog again. These animals have already endured more than they should have, and through no fault of their own. It behooves us to be honest and forthright, and we appreciate the same in return from applicants. It's that winning combination of reciprocal trust and respect that allows for successful placements to be made. Happy adopters translate to happy dogs, and that's our goal!
Our rescue volunteers will be more than honored to be in touch with you directly and promptly, after receiving your application and conducting a mandatory a veterinarian check.

Thank you for respecting that we all donate our time to saving these animals, and understand we value your philanthropic and compassionate desire to help be part of the rescue team. That said, you'll understand why we are committed to the well-being of our charges and consider this veterinarian check mandatory. If you are a first-time dog owner, we will work with you every step of the way! ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION ARE AS MUCH A PART OF RESPONSIBLE RESCUE AS ADOPTION! And it takes a RESCUE VILLAGE to help the most dogs possible in a thorough manner to ensure success on all fronts, and then some! It is an awful feeling to fail a dog, and we can't continue rescue if we don't do everything we can to ensure good matches for the dogs and tender families who might adopt them. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.
Although we are an extremely small rescue group, we understand and respect your family's eagerness to be in touch and learn as much as you can about the dogs you are considering adopting.
