About Sneakers:
Meet Sneakers! The sweetest poodle mix who is sure to melt your heart the moment you meet him. Sneakers came to TCPR from a local animal control shelter where he was found as a stray. He took little to no time to settle in and has been cuddly and playful ever since. He enjoys roaming around our yard, chewing on squeaker toys or nyla bones, and following his humans around. He's also a HUGE fan of laying on your lap or right next to you when you're sitting down. If your lap is full and he can't find room next to you, he's also not opposed to climbing up to the top of the couch and using your head as a pillow. It's both surprising and adorable!
Sneakers has done well when left alone outside of his crate! But we do crate him most of the time that we are gone. He needs a little bit of encouragement to go into his crate. However once he's in, he's quiet and typically just naps. He was intact when he first arrived so he marked a little. But that has improved since his neuter! He understands that he should go potty outside and will get his business done as soon as he's out. He just doesn't totally understand how to let us know when he has to go out. We've been taking him out semi consistently and he's doing well! When in his forever home, he should figure out the whole potty training thing pretty quickly with consistency and patience! In the meantime, belly bands have worked well!
Overall, Sneakers is a fan favorite in our home and has SO much love to share! He would love to have a family that will let him snuggle with them at night as he really loves sleeping in our daughter's room with her. He would also do great in a home without other pets or in a family that is looking to expand their number of pets! He's easy going and generally quiet so he would also do well in a home with shared walls.
Sneakers is fixed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations for his age.

Twin Cities Pet Rescue (TCPR) is a small, 501c3 nonprofit, companion animal rescue organization. TCPR does not have a facility and is 100% foster-based. TCPR rescues dogs, cats and small animals of all breeds; rescuing them from city impounds, puppy mills, and other situations of abuse and neglect. Once rescued, all animals receive veterinary care ranging from spay/neuter, vaccines, microchips, and basic testing to specialty eye surgeries, pet dermatology care, and various other specialty treatments. Once an animal is rescued by TCPR, it remains in a foster home until adopted, no matter how long that might take.
TCPR often rescues animals that are considered “less adoptable” by other rescue organizations, as they are often the ones overlooked and truly left behind; and in need of the most help. These animals might be overlooked due to their age, health status, special needs or breed. TCPR works to help as many animals in need find their furever families as we can, especially helping those animals that need help most.
